i run AVG anti-virus, did a scan last night(wach i do all most aver night and updeat before so this must be a new updeat to AGV that did this as i have bin uesing this for weeks) and i git

c:\…\houdini-8.1.604-win32.exe Deleted
c:\…\side effects software\houdini 8.1.604\uninstall.exe Deleted

Most likely its a false positive. Does AVG tell you why it thinks the installer contains a virus?

Yeah, this is a false positive. Just do a google search for “nullsoft false positive”

See, for example, http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=189414 [forums.winamp.com]

This shouldn't affect any 8.1 builds after 8.1.606. Is 8.1.619 or 8.1.613 detected as being infected for you?

o good
thanks! im giting the new build now

ok i just D/L 8.1.619 and still its finding the same thing…

so new builds are affected…

Strange, is it the same virus that it reports? Downloader.Zlob.ANW?

Edit: and when were your virus definitions last updated? I just scanned 8.1.604 and 8.1.619 with AVG 7.1 Professional's virus database 268.8.2/357 released today (June 6), and it didn't find anything.

ok thats it… i updeat laest night(its do it auto before scaning aver night) and thats win it fined the “virus” but now the new ones fined nathing

its all good.. looks like it was just a bad updaet by AVG

thanks for the help
