Virus/Spyware on MC 19.0.128 when adding components?
« on: April 15, 2014, 04:30:34 pm »

MC updated my version to 19.0.128 today.
Started a movie but it needed to add components.
The component adding halted due to my up-to-date Superantispyware warning that there was an infection of c:\users\.....\roaming/installfilter.exe withTrojan.Agent/Gen-PennyStockChaser.Process.
Anyone else with problems or just a false positive?

warning that there was an infection of c:\users\.....\roaming/installfilter.exe withTrojan.Agent/Gen-PennyStockChaser.Process.

Other than that it was timed similarly (which isn't necessarily relevant), what makes you think that this has anything to do with MC?

The folder you provided there isn't a valid path (even assuming the ... contains what it normally would) as applications don't dump items into the roaming directory, so that's not extremely helpful.  In any case, the download MC initiates certainly doesn't contain any malware.

I have no idea what triggered your alert, or what it might relate to, though, based on the information here.
