Alles wieder im grünen Bereich

Since i only get a very few mails complaining about a virus or trojan in the selfinstalling version of the xp-AntiSpy, so i assume nearly all of you seem to have the latest updates for your virus scanner.
So this problem should be out of the way and i can get back to my usual passion, which is coding 😉
So, c’ya at the next update of the xp-AntiSpy.

xp-AntiSpy 3.96-1

The Windows Update from yesterday also updated the file tcpip.sys. That’s why the xp-AntiSpy 3.96-1 didn’t detect it. This is fixed with the 3.96-1.
Also i changed the version of NSIS i use to create the setup program. I hope this will end all the false positives some virus scanning software detects.

Immer noch Falscherkennungen

In the meantime i received more mails, complaining that a trojan in the self installing version of the xp-AntiSpy is found. This also concerns the software AntiVir.
So i wrote to the owners of Bitdefender and AntiVir to state that this is a false positive.
Please keep providing me with the details if you virus scanning software is detecting a Trojan or a Virus.
Please include the following infos:

  • Which software detects the malicious code
  • Which version
  • The date of you virus database (it’s mostly the date of the last time you did a update)
  • Name of the detected Trojan/Virus

Thanks!

Virusmeldung mit Bitdefender

Since the release of version 3.96 of the xp-AntiSpy some users complained about a virus warning of their virus scanning software. I was alertet that the file xp-AntiSpy_setup-english.exe was infected with a trojan.
This is a false detection.
To build the setup executable i use the Nullsoft Install System. This wonderful piece of software is a open source software and it clearly contains no malicious code.
So please update your virus scanning software and this false detection should belong to the past.
I only had users of a Bitdefender virus scanner complaining about this virus detection. If you use different virus scanner which complains, please letme know.
So long, -chris-

The version 3.96 is now available for download.
Details could be checked out in the Changelog.
Some settings where added, the connection limit can be patched now also under 64-Bit systems and I added a symbol reference for a quick overview of the different icon states of a setting.

Many thanks to all translators!! The xp-AntiSpy at present exists in 14 languages.
Special thanks too Milan Bast, he provided me with good ideas and a lot of bug reports.
