Title: Norton Internet Security's false positive. Tnx dmn trojan programers! Post by: PLaci1982 on August 01, 2011, 08:14:57 PM With the latest virus definitions NIS 2011 will detect an older version Ufasoft miner's bitcoin-miner.exe as Trojan.Gen (generic trojan)...
(I dl'ed it packed with GUI miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0) 20110614 and 20110701) The current version are also marked "possibly bad" within Norton File Insight...

Norton flagged it because the miner is being used as part of an IRC-based trojan to steal your computer's resources and make the hacker some coins at your expense.

(A real pr0 could write it's own miner....) Title: Re: Norton Internet Security's false positive. Tnx dmn trojan programers! Post by: Starlightbreaker on August 02, 2011, 02:52:53 AM norton?

ufasoft.exe.It loads a cmd prompt then quickly closes without doing nything and then Comodo reports that it has a trojan. Title: Re: Norton Internet Security's false positive.

Post by: computer22 on August 09, 2011, 05:11:30 AM Comodo firewall on my system is also reporting this as well (huh I thought a firewall is just a firewall but it behaves like AV as well) It's a commandline tool. Add it to your exception list and try starting it with a -? or -h or -help parameter.ufasoft.exe.It loads a cmd prompt then quickly closes without doing nything and then Comodo reports that it has a trojan.

You could try to pack the exe file with UPX. Most antivirus programs are so stupid that they can't recognize the program after packing. |
