Virus in binary download?
Last modified: 2018-03-26 15:26:45 UTC
I downloaded both binaries, 3.14 & 3.8 from this page: http://glade.gnome.org/sources.html When I did a clamwin scan of the files, it alerted me to the presence of Adware virus in both files. I thought you might like to know that. (I got a working, clean? version from Sourceforge.) -- Jim
those binaries were build under Debian with a cross compiler, even the installer so I doubt it has a virus. Anyways do you have more information about it? which file? which virus?
Juan Pablo, Thanks. The versions are those mentioned above, 3.14 & 3.8, at the link provided above. (The version, Glade3-3.6.1.exe, on sourceforge scanned fine -- no "virus.") Filenames: glade-3-14-2-installer.exe, glade-3-8-3-installer.exe Clamwin indicated the virus name was Adware. Here's exactly what clamwin said after I scanned the binaries: Scan Started Wed Jan 02 10:38:56 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\Documents and Settings\jimbo\Downloads\glade-3-14-2-installer.exe: Win.Adware.Directdownloader FOUND ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 1514526 Engine version: 0.97.6 Scanned directories: 0 Scanned files: 1 Infected files: 1 Data scanned: 41.91 MB Data read: 17.18 MB (ratio 2.44:1) Time: 20.648 sec (0 m 20 s) Peace, Jim
I think I'd like to see a confirmation by a different Antivirus software first. I've seen enough wrong "virus in download" reports about GIMP installers for Windows thanks to badly written antivirus software...
