I am quite upset that I got this trojan when downloading form your site. My virus scan told me that it loaded with Inca Ball. It seems to be very persistant. I am not a techy so this is not good for me. Now what do I do and do I continue to trust this web site?

I am concerned about Media Resizer PRO (GAOTD of January 2nd, 2008):
In folder:
C:\Program Files\Media Resizer PROThe file:
shell file list.lst
seems to be updated even if I do not use the software.
the file "date-modified" is updated often by itself.Does it mean that the Media Resizer PRO software (or part of it) is loaded during boot without me activating it?
I do not want software to load my system unless I intentionally load it.
Any advice?My OS is Win XP.

I have also noticed this softwares odd behaviour.
I have my programs folder in a sequence of last modified > show in groups.
I installed it when it was offered here, firstly then when the updated version v2.58 came along.
It seems to stay as one of the last modified folders.
I am currently trying to link it to see if when I say install a graphics application, sometimes they ask to be a default application for certain files.
I am yet to conclude if this is affecting media re-sizer pro.

Thank you for your reply.
Maybe GAOTD could access the software vendor and ask him?
If this software loads itself to the system against the user preference, then I would rather uninstall it.

I'm running AVG and it just picked up a trojan horse from Vidmorph.exe .. says" backdoor, hupigon3.arcw .. just thought I'd pass this on for what it's worth! I do believe I got this from GOTD awhile back.

My first reaction (and years of experience) as soon as I see a virus report and AVG mentioned - I immediately think "false positive".
can I ask you to disable your antivirus (and on-access checking) which will allow you to upload the file for checking. If the file is infected you only need worry if you actually execute/run the program - just selecting the file and loading it to a website should not matter.
Please upload to
as the above can often be busy, an alternative
http://www.virustotal.com/metodos.html
you can either upload or email the file (check the instructions for email)
If you could make a note of the results. Often you can tell from some of the "better AV products" and the general consensus across the products overall as to whether the file is a false positive or not.
You should check with AVG for the procedure to provide them with the file so they can correctly classify the file.
After all this - Don't forget to turn your AntiVirus scanning back on again.

I use Norton online protection and antivirus tool, I have AnVir Task Manager and Mamutu. My Norton is updated daily and is current. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
My system found the trojan Hacktool.Rootkit in Robotask idlehook.dll yesterday/today and in my easttec backup files under the Robotask product backup. I downloaded Robotask and haven't used it since I downloaded it on September 28, 2007 and east tec backup was used October 12, 2007. Norton Antivirus did not find this trojan until this mornings scan so the trojan ended up in this file somehow but I don't know how.
I'm not saying this virus was downloaded in Robotask or EastTec Backup's original download from GAOTD because I routinely do full system Virus Scans (once a week) and quick scans whenever I restart my computer and they haven't been found until now. What I'm saying is to please do a full system scan on your computer to make sure you catch this trojan if your computer has somehow received it. The trojan has been removed from my computer as of this morning.
Symatec provided this information on the Trojan.

to iBizCard_Studio, for your information.
The program Bizcard.exe creates a Temp directory "E_4". In this directory it creates al kind of files. One of them is identified as the Trojan. Maybe this narrows the search to the problem.Posted 2 weeks ago # -

Same problem here. After installing iBizCard Bitdefender found two infected files in the E_4 directory. Both infected with Trojan.Peed.Gen.
The files are
- EXMLParser.fne
- shell.fnePosted 2 weeks ago # -
The Myspace Editor had a "trojen.adclick" and I was using NAV. The virus isn't found until after the product is installed. How disappointing.
