slim2hott Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 hi. as you all know im new to here. and i wanted to ask a question. i downloaded utorrent from the main site and i virus checked it and look....i got 3 detections. (i used virustotal.com) the anti-virus Sunbelt said VIPRE.Suspicious is a generic detection for potential threats that are deemed suspicious through heuristics.and Drweb said win32.smitfraud.cand CAT-QuickHeal said (Suspicious) - DNAScanshould i install it or not?

µtorrent-Guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 1) the stand alone exe, or the installer package?2) a "heuristic" based alarm does not 100% sure mean a virus. Probably oyur scanners don't like the installer that is used in the install package.3) the original version from original site is clean i would say, if you don't need other language then english you can also use the single exe file. I bet you don#t get a warning there! But the installer version should be ok to install too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Anti-virus scanners tend to show false positives with the NSIS installer, for some retarded reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Probably because they're mixing it up for other malware that make use of it ;\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
