I downloaded and installed Qimage Ultimate on a new computer, previously scanned and free of virus, and Avast again considered it infected by "win32:Banker".
A couple of comments from the "Peanut Gallery".
Mical and Terry both use AVG Internet Security. They are getting a Trojan Alert.
As Mike said, I use AVG Antivirus and I do not get an alert.
Can someone with the AVG Internet Security look into the difference and try to determine if there's some additional level of security that may be the cause of the Trojan alerts?
For about a year or so, I keep getting a Trojan alert which AVG says is contained in my Logitech Camera software/driver.
Here's what I did.
I quarantined the Trojan, removed it from the vault, uninstalled Logitech, using a scrubbing tool.
Then reinstalled a fresh download.
On the next scheduled virus scan, here's my trojan back again.
I quarantined him and then ignored the message.
Then I moved the driver install exe file to a different drive; one that is not included in the scheduled virus scan.
No more virus detected. Conclusion (right or wrong) to me is that there was some code string in the driver exe file that triggered the virus alert. False Positive, if you will.
Anytime a file has an .exe suffix, all these email and internet secutiry people who write this code get a Spastic Colon. They put on Hazmat suits and try to "protect you".
I can be fairly confident that a company like Logitech probably has a clean driver download, and it follows that DDI software does also.
One very important reason to me!!!
Logitech and Mike (Qimage) both have you downloading from their individual server.
I noticed one gentleman mentioned he used "Download master". There are dozens of so called installer and downloader programs that purport to assist you or to speed you up, or to check to see if all your drivers are up to date.
This is usually where the trojans and viruses and Adware lurk.
Do yourself a favor and stay off of those.
