Trojaner in version 1.7.0.404 ?

hamburger

Hello,

I installed the version 1.7.0.404.

AVK (Virusscanner) tells me that there is a Trojaner in the program:

Win32-018

Is that true?

I just downloaded the new version about 10 mins ago and Kaspersky never gave me one popup.Perhaps this is a false positive.Did you update it from the Macecraft website?

jv16

Seems like another false positive, just like this one: http://www.macecraft.com/news/137/

Hello,

after installing the new version, AVK said that there is a trojaner in the program and put it into quarantine.

In quarantine the Trojaner is called Win32 Trojano 018 and the file is called jv.PT.exe

It does not help to use the function move back (in German zurückbewegen)

You have to uninstall the program. Install it again. Do not open the programm !!! Open AVK. Open option (Optionen)

Click on exception (Ausnahmen) Click on ... Look under C:\ program for jv 16 and place it in exception.

Now AVK will not scan jv 16 and the program is working alright.

Good luck1

I don't have this bad experience with JVPover Tools. But I have the same experience with some other software on various PC's, that some of the antivirus programmes detetct trojans in it. Sometimes it could really be, that there are kinds of "packed trojanes" inside, which were used for trial evaluation software, or, in other cases, the (antivrus) software is bad programmed. Thats it. May be, that antivirus software is right. And the softwareproducer wants to spy the user. I can give you the advice, to scan with Cure it (free download antivirus scanner, does not install with routine) LINK: http://download.drweb.com/drweb+cureit/

Its free and finds many bad, also in packedware (zip,rar...)

But, I don't think that Macecraft software would have trojans inside.

Don't worry I can trust Macecraft, you also can, too.

I tried different Antivirus (Trend Micro, AVG, Bitdefender, Dr.Web (*small, cheap & good search engine*) Never they found anything in JV16!

Note the sentence: Software lives!

It's indeed a false positive. None of our products contain any kind of hidden addons, spyware, bundles or trojans.

In fact, we are one of the few software companies that actually guarantee this: http://www.macecraft.com/trust_policy/ Most other companies don't give any such guarantees.
