MC 14.0.050 download with a trojan?
« on: August 29, 2009, 07:33:20 am »

I regularly check our computers with an anti-virus tool, Dr. Web and it reports the object

"MediaCenter140050.exe\System/Always Overwrite/Media Core Launcher.exe"

as infected with a "Trojan.Swizzor.Based"

The program has been downloaded from your main site.

Could you please tell me what that is all about? I somehow doubt that this should be a 'false positive'...

I regularly check our computers with a famous anti-virus tool, Dr. Web (which is famous for finding all sorts of virii, especially for eliminating the patching Virut virus)
and it reports the object

"MediaCenter140050.exe\System/Always Overwrite/Media Core Launcher.exe"

as infected with a "Trojan.Swizzor.Based"

We've been through this many times, and it has always been a false positive.  Please report this to the maker of the virus checker.
