NOD32 Going Nuts!


Question

Hey,

This morning I decided to do a scan with SUPERAntiSpyware.

During the scan, this popped up;

I figured it was a false positive and moved on. During the scan it popped up around 4-5 times,

3 times saying it was during the SAS Scan and one time while I tried to open Fireworks.

When I tried to open a file in Fireworks, NOD32 Popped up and said it had found a virus in Fireworks.exe.

My Computer crashed and I had to reboot. Now I'm at the desktop, opened Firefox and this popped up;

2544AdobeVirus.png

I closed Firefox, waited 2-3 minutes, when this popped up;

7903Adobe2Virus.png

When I closed that, the first "Adobe" one appeared yet again ...

Is my NOD32 going nuts here or is my Computer being overrun :p

I never downloaded any dodgy files, I always have Comodo running to block out unwanted files, have a fully updated version of NOD32 and scan weekly with different spyware software.

So I'd deem my Computer safe, but why would so many different false positive appear, even after a reboot?

What's going on?

Just seen your post in the GRID thread, as mentioned I have SAS (4.1.1046) and ESS (3.0.657.0) and have had this issue since updating ESS yesterday, I believe it is some sort of conflict, and have fired off an email to both companies outlining the issue. It's hard to say who is the culprit as I also updated SAS a few days ago. I do not get the popups whilst doing an SAS scan, it can happen randomly, even whilst the system is idle. For this reason I don't know which one to blame, I know I have Real Time Protection set in SAS but I thought that only checked running apps/processes.

I will await a reply from them both to find out what is happening, though usually ESET take around a week or so to respond :(

Ah, thank you for the reply (Y)

I do believe It's due to the 'conflict' between the two, since I haven't done a scan with SAS ever since I installed Vista.

So today I decided to do a Full Scan and suddenly these virus notes pop-up, there has to be a connection then.

Think I'll disable SAS' real-time protection so I get rid of the random pop-ups and see if either NOD or SAS releases an update to fix it.

But do let me know when you get a reply to those Emails!

Hey guys,

I've turned my computer on this morning and Eset NOD32 has started to declare files on my computer as an 'Unknown Virus'!!?

Its quarantined NeedForSpeed.exe and FootballManager.exe. Its now thinking Folder@Home .exe is a virus!

I think Eset has mucked something up with there last update?

Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks,

:blink:

Just had a call from ESET, apparently they know an issue with the latest version which gives false/positives with Adobe software, but this is the first they heard of it throwing up the threat alert with other software. I advised all the apps I am getting it with and he said he would get back to the devs to advise them of this new information.

Unfortunately there is no way of going back to an older version (unless you can find it elsewhere to download, as they don't have access to previous builds :()

Nod32 can be a bit of a pain like that, its still one of the best antivirus around. I had the same thing with superantispyware, so just alowed it, as I know its not got a virus in it. Its all a bit of common sence really.

what update are you guys talking about? I have the latest version (v3.0.657.0) and this morning it tagged and deleted cfp.exe (COMODO) for a virus.

Definition update - 3120 - tagged files as viruses like Comodo

3121 - (you might have to manually update) will fix those problems (it did with me)

I also got a program module update which could have also fixed it?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
