Gator has corrected a security flaw in the Web-based installer program for its popular digital wallet software, but some anti-virus utilities still brand the program a Trojan horse.
Responding to a report in February that the ActiveX installer opened a potential back door for attackers, Gator temporarily removed the program, GatorSetup.exe, from its sites and posted a security update that eliminates the vulnerability for users who have installed the program using the ActiveX control.
Although Gator recently replaced the installer at its site with a version that eliminates the security flaws, the ActiveX program is currently blocked by Symantec's Norton AntiVirus (NAV) software.
According to NAV, the Gator installer is infected with the Backdoor.Trojan virus and the description at the Symantec site says, "all Trojans that are detected as Backdoor.Trojan have one thing in common: they allow unauthorized access to the infected computer."
A downloadable installer for the Gator software, GatorMiniSetup.exe, did not set off NAV's alarms today.

10) run the audigy beta driver UDA_betaUDA_betaAudioEnglishdriversCTZAPXX.exe, select install WDM driver
11) restart, everything okay except the sound font manager
12) copy the sfman32.dll from the "common" directoy of the audigy driver disc, boot to DOS or other version of windows (or safe mode?), then copy the sfman32.dll to System32 directory of windows
13) restart, everything okay, all functionality
the conclusion by that guy is that Audigy is just the old core with new manufacture method (thus different chip size, etc.) with 24-bit playback DAC and 1394 interface. He also hypothesized that Creatvie have their stock dropping a lot earlier last year and a lot of people are criticizing that their R&D is too slow, so they just make Audigy which based on the same old core while advertsing it as "with a lot of whole new technology and functionality"
AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! YOU CAN WRECK YOUR SYSTEM BY DOING THIS AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
