Mikey Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 The antivirus program on my PC (Avira AntiVir PE Classic) reports that AutoItX3.dll is a virus (Heuristic/Hijacker). Why?Hi alb. Sometimes antivirus programs flag files as viruses (virii to some of you ), when in fact the files are just fine. The anitvirus program (different ones do it at different times) is identifying the file incorrectly or finding a '... false postive..'. Don't worry, AutoIt has no viruses. The problem you're having has happened to many people. Eventually the makers of the antivirus program realize the error & correct it. You can also contact them & let them know what happened to you & ask them to fix it.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will report this to the antivirus program makers and ask for a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSCPorts Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 well the deal with common antivirus technologies is that they use a thing called a signature checker to check code for common things used in a virus for example if u use FileInstall it detects that routine as a trojan dropper which it very well could be but thats not what ur using it for.. http://www.myclanhosting.com/defiasVisit Join and contribute to a soon to be leader in Custumized tools development in [C# .Net 1.1 ~ 2.0/C/C++/MFC/AutoIt3/Masm32] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnQSmith Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 6 years? Is that a new necro record? Whenever someone says "pls" because it's shorter than "please", I say "no" because it's shorter than "yes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
