    *****WARNING**** VIRUS IN ARNET LOADER SOFTWARE

    The arnet loader software here
    Digital Kaos - Downloads - Arnet Kryptview Loader
    shows as having Win32:Searches-E trojan. If you've used this I'd recommend scanning your drives.

    Scanned using Norton Corporate and nothing found.

    It's been there since April 08 and no-one has mentioned it before, are you sure it's not something else on your PC?

    Which AV are you using?

                  i would recomend everyone gets rid of norton and any other anti virus because they are pants, trust me i know too well.

                  ive tried at least 6 big name anti virus and only one is good enough

                  search for superantispyware in google and let it scan your pc, you will be surprised
                  Wavefield Ds 55cm at 13E 19E and 28E receiving everything out there on 2 dm800hd

                  previous life dm800hd and 500c on cable screw you nag3

                      Avast is well known for having a database of programs that are blacklisted. Most keygens and basically any program that is reported they add to there database.

                      I have two versions of Avast and one is paid for and the other one isn't the one that isn't paid for reports the loader as having a virus. My paid for Avast on my lappy does not see a problem with the same file!!!!

                      Nearly every keygen program that goes through my non paid for Avast comes back as a virus.

                      There's reports on forums that Avast incorporated this into an update to deter people using keygens on their own software.

                      I've made Avast ignore this file as I have with many it's reported. If in doubt run malwarebytes on the file. If that says it's clear then you can bet it is.

                      Regards.

                        When i try and use winrar on the file this is what i get.

                        ! C:\\Temp\DownTool_0927.rar: Unexpected end of archive
                        ! C:\\Temp\DownTool_0927.rar: CRC failed in DownTool_0927.exe. The file is corrupt
                        ! C:\\Temp\DownTool_0927.rar: Unexpected end of archive

                        What does it mean and what can i do to get this file to work???

                        Thanks

                          think you need 5 posts before you can download. "capitals" shouting wont help.
