fh1805 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Igor,My weekly full system scan by Norton Internet Security 2008 has reported the following: Risk Name: Suspicious.MH690. It found this in the program SetupVideoInet.exe in the following beta releases: 10,11,12,14,15,16 using its heuristic virus detection techniques.I never installed beta 13 which is why that version isn't reported against. I also still have betas 8 and 9 installed and it didn't report against these either. So the suspicious code would seem to have been introduced at beta 10 and is present from there onwards.I leave it to you to follow this up with Symantec.The same virus scan also reported my login cookie for the forum website as a piece of "adware" and removed it. Perhaps you could also tell Symantec that this particular cookie is a "good" cookie, not a "bad" cookie.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Peter,Thanks for letting me know.It is a false virus detection. This SetupVideoInet.exe file (20 KB) intended to install VideoInet.dll file with updated Youtube/Vimeo settings.I just checked up this file with 38 antiviruses on http://www.virustotal.com and see that two antiviruses (Panda and ClamAV) mistakenly mark this file as a virus.We'll write them about this problem to fix it ASAP.

Igor Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I just sent requests to Symantic, Panda and ClamAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Peter,Please could you re-test for this problem again with latest NIS 2008 update? I just received an email from Symantec that false positive was removed from Norton Internet Security 2008. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
