SyncrohX 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Hi everybody... Downloaded Face Maker 3.1 today (Face_Maker_3.1___English_.zip) and my anti-virus (Avira) warned me that it contains the trojan virus TR/Gendal.kdv.233703. Nice surprise :-( Anybody here got the same advice? Saludos, Syncroh X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Did you download it from here? http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/resources/tools-a-utilities/204-face-maker-31 I got no virus from that one. It must be a false positive. The download is completely safe. No downloads on this site have viruses. 2 madanchi and GrimmHallows reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To make sure, I downloaded a second time and in the meantime updated my scanner (second time today), just to make sure. Same alert. Maybe it was a false positive, I don't know. But I found a german translation of this program, version 3.2, following another link and I didn't get any alert, so I thought I'd better inform you.

GrimmHallows 17 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 I thought that I had better double check this for myself, and I decided that the best way to do this was to scan it with all the anti-virus programs I know of. So, AVG first. It was relatively quick, even with a thorough scan; but it found no traces of infectious software (And AVG is notorious for false positives, becuase of it's rather overly constrictive virus detecting algorithms) Secondly, I used Norton, which also seemed to come back clean, and also has a nasty history of false positives, I should know; tried telling me that my "Dragon Age: Origins" disk had a trogan on it. I also scanned that disk several times to make sure with different programs, and only Norton was having a cow. Finally, I used Avast. This last one isn't as strict as the other two, with a lot more control given to the user in any case, but again, nothing was found? So it must have just been Avira. I might get it later and test Avira myself; can never have too many antivirus programs in my opinion. Any way, that's just my results. -Grimm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellessdee 48 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Scanned with Panda Cloud, no results either. I think this one is safe to call a false positive. The largest downside with some anti-viruses, are that their virus libraries/databases rely on user collected data, and can lead to incorrect information being stored. Or, some software works with a system that may seem "malicious" to an anti-virus, even if it isn't actually doing anything malicious. Nonetheless, you were definitely right in bringing it to our attention, thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Panda Cloud? That sounds adorable. And yeah that problem with facemaker has been around for a while. There's nothing wrong with that download, but better safe than sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellessdee 48 Report post Posted November 5, 2011 Panda Cloud? That sounds adorable. Not only is it adorable, it is also the best anti-virus around(IMO). And it's live. And it's free(FACT). And it's http://www.cloudantivirus.com/en/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
