AMV converter v. 3.68 "Virus"??
 

On the download page, i was going to download AMV converter 3.68. I was reading a few topics on the download from this week, and two of the sites members said that the version offered on this site has a trojan virus. Is this true. if it is, is their another location i can get this converter.

Thanks

dansvob, This seems to have only started happening over the last few weeks, some Antivirus software have started detecting part of the 3.68 install as a trojan. Apparently it does not matter where you download it from it is the same. If you are concerned I suggest you use one of the other versions. I have scanned it with BitDefender Security Suite and Avast Antivirus Pro and they both find it clean and admin has scanned it as well so i do not really know one way or another. It seems strange that it has had over 55,000 download over the last 6 months or so and the problem has only just started to happen.

Thanks for the reply. I will take your word that the download is good. I havent had any reason not to trust any of the downloads on this site.

Thanks,

dansov, I also just did a scan of my whole system at the Symantec on-line virus scan and that turned up nothing as well.

Trend Officescan detects a trojan in deldrv.exe which is contained in data1.cab. I'm pretty sure that is being misreported as a virus.
Easiest resolution is to download Version 4.0.
Otherwise, disable your virus scanner, extract and install the software. Then replace C:\Program Files\MP3 Player Utilities 3.xx\DelDrv.exe with an empty text file before enabling your virus scanner. It isn't a critical file.

Fessaries, thanks for the info and offering a solution. Most appreciated.

hi guys great forum by the way

i keep on trying to install 3.68 but my antivirus(nod 32) program keeps saying it has a q trojan and removes it.This is so anoying i carnt even uninstall it,so i manually uninstalled the folder i downloaded another version and tried again still the same problem
sheesh wat a hasle

zakker1, It is the same no matter where you download it from. I don't think it is really a trojan but try 4.00, 4.03 or 3.57 they are all available in the Downloads>Tools section.

I had mine from my original cd-rom, and just recently Norton found it as a virus?

So what IS deldrv.exe? What does it do? With a name that sounds as though it is short for "Delete Drive" (which I wouldn't want to do!) suspicions are aroused :wink:
