September 20, 200421 yr F-prot is picking up all my WinRAR SFX installers as having a virus, the monitor was going beserk every time I opened a folder with them in. All my unattended stuff is on D: fortunately, I ran a scan on C: & it even deleted default.sfx from my WinRAR install folder.

September 20, 200421 yr could be your virus scanner, what are you using?F-prot is picking up all my WinRAR SFX installers as having a virus
September 20, 200421 yr Author Reply from Eugene Roshal (WinRAR):Hello,Thank you for information. Yes, it happens time to time. WinRAR SFXmodules are compressed by UPX tool, some viruses are also compressedby UPX and sometimes antivirus developers errorneously add UPX signatureto virus list.Eugene
September 20, 200421 yr Sometimes antivirus developers errorneously add UPX signatureto virus list.So that means it shouldn't be added, should it? Hopefully F-Prot will fix it in their next version.
September 21, 200421 yr You could always try running a online virus scan, i know that panda inline virus scan was a good online scanner. Then if they pop up wit it, try another scanner if that pops up with it then u probbally have had a virus thatwrite itself to other files.
September 21, 200421 yr Author New defs out- all fixed. I just didn't want anyone to lose there hard work.
