Autopatcher infected with trojans???

drvarunmehta · 14-07-2005, 09:08 PM

I installed .NET framework from Autopatcher May 2005 edition. avast! detects a trojan in one of the installed files. Is this a false positive or other antivirus programs are detecting it too?

Most probably it's a false positive (heuristic warning?). You can upload and scan the file here.

u r right. had noticed the same thing. the spyware dotnet is present in autopatcher may. just 'uncheck' its installation or remove it with ur anti-spy afterwards.

Absolutely similar problem with me

. Used autopatcher after a format on XP SP 2, yet to be solved.

Any how let us all investigate into this matter.

But ,this time after reinstallation, I am not going to use autopatcher any more

There were no problems with me when i installed autopatcher, even i use avast antivirus, scan it again and see if you get the same message again.

Hmm! Mine also went Smoothly. And I also use Avast 4.6 HE with Latest Updates. Urs may be a unlucky case ?

AUTOPATCHER CLEARLY MENTIONS THAT ANTIVIRUS CREATES SOME ALERTS AND THUS RECOMMENDS U TA OFF IT AS IT WORKS WITH WINDOW"S UPDATES THRO REGISTRY EDITING

Hope u understand (non update downloaders)
