Total Files Scanned: 1

It's a false alarm.
Two possible reasons:
- Random pattern in the installer that somehow matches a virus signature. Bad virus scanners seem to report such things all the time.
- The installer contains a small dll to download the sourcecode of FileZilla on demand, some bad virus scanners think it's a trojan. (Perhaps this dll is used by some trojans?)

thanks for your reply i will have another go at downloading it after a few more avg updates and see if it sorts the problem out, like i sid it was ok yesterday and it was only after a update of avg that it found it as a trojan thanks for your reply
I get the same warning, but only with 2.2.13a, no other installers. I think I'll just stick to an older version until this gets figured out. If it's a new virus, some programs may not be reporting it yet. I know from experience that McAfee can run 2-3 days behind AVG on new viri (another reason never to use McAfee).
botg, I'm not saying AVG is all that great, but I'm curious as to what you consider a "bad virus scanner".

Re: wormeyman
Computer Associates' eTrust Antivirus 7.1. I scanned it with both the InoculateIT and Vet engines whose signatures were updated today:jolorna wrote:my post was posted to find out what antivirus TheAngryPenguin was using that it wouldn't pick it up not you wormeyman i could see from your first posting that you was using avg like me
Code: Select all
InoculateIT Engine version: 23.68.00 2004/12/28
InoculateIT Signature version: virsig.da0 23.68.104 2005/04/20
Vet Engine version: 11.07.00 2004/08/25
Vet Signature version: vet.da1 11.07.9087 2005/04/20
Some more information: -
I installed 2.2.13a on a system with McAfee 8.0 (current DAT files). This found no problem.
I then scanned the FileZilla folder on that system from a networked computer running AVG 7. This detects the Downloader trojan in the file uninstall.exe.
Essentially this means that, even if AVG is disabled during FileZilla setup, it will still flag a problem afterwards. For whatever reason, this makes FileZilla 2.2.13a totally unusable on systems with AVG 7.
