By submitting reports to a CENTRAL location, security vendors can find them easily, communicate with affected parties, and USERS can see which security vendors are trying to AVOID COLLATERAL DAMAGE. Remember, once a false positive or mis-rating happens, the damage is already done. So, in addition to fixing them rapidly, security vendors must be interested in working to AVOID them. Some are, some aren't. This non-profit, all volunteer site will help show which security vendors care the most.

The file was quarantined and I figured it had probably been intercepted. I haven't ever used the software that I downloaded, and forgot about it.

It's Fireheart that ultimately should contact Malwarebytes who pride themselves in finding malware that other programs don't find. I have the #1 AV as rated by AV-Comparatives.org (F-Secure) and it didn't find anything. It's funny how people give positive reviews of anti-malware products as 'It found malware that other programs didn't!' yet when one of the top #2 'second line of defense' anti-malware products finds something, it's discarded because other programs didn't find anything. Like I stated earlier, adware doesn't scare me and I left it on my computer. My wife loves it and uses it at start-up on hers, but I think GOTD should notify Fireheart that a leading anti-malware program is reporting a product they distributed as malicious. That's not asking too much. I could understand blowing this off if some unknown program found it but this is a respected product. It's in both companies best interest that they communicate about this. A lot of people would have just let malwarebytes remove the program and left a nasty revie of GOTD at WOT. This was just a friendly FYI that I thought would be appreciated and handled swiftly. I guess I will email Fireheart. Sigh :-) PS - I noticed the 01-11-2011 giveaway, Inpaint's registration has already expired. I wonder where I post that info. It will clean up pics but when you try to save it it tell you to purchase it now.

Yes, some find adware but Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Ad-Aware, SuperAntiSpyware, etc. are different from anti-viruses in their approach to finding malware and adware. This may be a false positive but I thought I would bring it to the attention of giveawayoftheday.com since they distributed the software and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is one of the top three 2nd line of defense in malware and adware. As for symptoms on my computer? I just use Firefox with several ad-ons to block ads and pop-ups. I haven't seen an internet ad or pop-up in a long time, so, even if I was infected, I wouldn't see any symptoms. The best thing to do would be for GOTD to contact the software company, notify them of the detection and if it's a false positive, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware will correct this. Adware doesn't scare me so I left it on my system but hopefully, in a week, my scan results will be different. hotdoge3 on "Review Trojan/Virus Reports" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/719/page/9#post-90865 Wed, 11 May 2011 00:34:17 +0000 hotdoge3 90865@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ That Found Malware ?

I'm now using Avira - but this also has its problems. I think I'll switch to AVG. If you keep trying different anti-virus programs, this may help.

I wouldn't worry about it, because this software obviously need to lock on to keyboard and networking (that's a feature) to do its job.

Anyone able to confirm that this is malicious or not? Avast has gotten much more picky lately so this might just be an over-reaction but it also might not be. Thoughts??? Edit -- I installed it again and then scanned it with both Avast and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware both of which came up empty for anything suspicious. As soon as I ran the program however Avast once again threw up all sorts of warnings and errors....
