Title: AVG Antivirus finds a new Generic24.BZCM signature Post by: ElectricMucus on September 13, 2011, 02:08:37 AM Code: VirSCAN.org Scanned Report : This is annoying can we get AVG to be more precise in their tests? Also please validate the correctness of the hashes just in case, who knows I might have a wallet stealer who specifically infests only the bitcoin binary ;) Title: Re: AVG Antivirus finds a new Generic24.BZCM signature Post by: Exonumia on September 13, 2011, 04:25:54 AM It is flagging the actual bitcoin.exe very annoying http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanresult/0214bed84935ae396859a7e1f7de742544f8d75d http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=a69de4fc3fdfa08a4b2f8a8e65840dfe1a719d28744759e431d2592fb8f2016d-1315886735 Title: Re: AVG Antivirus finds a new Generic24.BZCM signature Post by: nibor on September 13, 2011, 08:17:46 AM Yes getting issue too. Will report to AVG. What you see is: http://bitcoinstatus.rowit.co.uk/virus.PNG I checked the sha1 of the binary (using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290) and is: http://bitcoinstatus.rowit.co.uk/sha1.PNG I also redownloaded the binary from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.24/ and the SHA1 of the binary in this package matches the one above and the SHA1 of the zip matches the sha1 in the signed txt file on sourceforge (can someone just double check that the signature below is valid? As I do not have a good public key for it. Conclusion is that AVG is wrong (once someone checks the signature below). To work around the issue Open AVG app by double clicking on icon in tray. Doubleclick on Resident Shield Click on Manage Exceptions Select the bitcoin binary. THIS IS DANGEROUS as I do not know if AVG will spot if you change the binary to a different one that is infected? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 4909c17a1cc025c6f6c88d036f0b487c51c510f6 bitcoin-0.3.24-linux.tar.gz fed0afebe0b0c0f77a637600ac4abecbe5d098ed bitcoin-0.3.24-macosx.zip 58531249230f769fdc755822b41e0f18ba59512c bitcoin-0.3.24-src.tar.gz d4b5425eff673551a326d5326b92a06359dc1a3d bitcoin-0.3.24-win32-setup.exe 520aed70ee28a0a91ed49dd983639cb1fab2a93c bitcoin-0.3.24-win32.zip -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBTiTMHNodwg8tvwyoAQL8CRAAgraSWP12lbwrhpiElvB7LIWoPbiE1dUx i2ZO4MVJYKMbyuHu55j1Uq7a4ZqpNhXqq7U6efnoDTCl9sdpyhKxiql0SpsYBLs1 IehX4UEVGVMUE5uepmOs+cYnYuAhNzvxNqKFPv3D7uEOXPmSxlUa4s0GEnTgVR1l 0GFYf2T615MoGAak3+afahp4WB4XlHshttHT2P3o2/7N4Oh7iwFFtkmOj/Sb3Prc C8skW83kUZ4i8W1HlZTmtr4YlQbKnx6bF6mbkTY1aQa1AV/8htenALkmR2+eCgsd EY9WM8qruxnVLt/ao+VYw5jYLSYVKHt31ZD4rJM+5lKcTtU1NmNsGloen+hdLwC+ hggqnUQmvBzM7SKqvg4zI9SbgGR5fS3poTrFX7yDKZyLSPcjBND/lWi8evRiSEP0 yftCKL7zotdRy6QTG7tI1Fye1fyYuQdTB1nimE+7VJ8Q2O4DwE0iZKMuXm3GfaOr T20Znvns9caMKED9T1gg42QgYM6EMMbeukBUkIXPt2tloDnn2tMzvvrKzgGBS1Lc qv2ndhBCunBxNCQCHly4T2Rz8TJnm2XglS0d/VygcMuMSL0San5DwXYNnN4P0xD/ MXOdqrxcusIzKBbSHWPqInRmYUTymDtcqXWK3Cz6kRUXjBkRoSvDs8PBAvnaC236 1xol6uyMqZo= =aMy0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Title: Re: AVG Antivirus finds a new Generic24.BZCM signature Post by: nibor on September 13, 2011, 08:30:04 AM I have reported to AVG.
Bet it would help if lots of people did.

I guess this was because AVG halted the process in the middle of it doing something? Luckily I had a backup and only 0.5 BTC in it anyway and downloaded a fresh blockchain and ran with -rescan and all looks fine. Title: Re: AVG Antivirus finds a new Generic24.BZCM signature Post by: plogank on September 13, 2011, 07:15:20 PM I just updated AVG and scanned. It no longer finds a problem. They must have fixed it...
