Experiences with Symantecs Virusscan deleting Autoit files?


Recommended Posts

Hi

has anyone experiences with the symantec antivirus. It seems to delete some compiled autoit Files and does not allow to recompile these files...

I do not know what happend - but not all files have this problem.

Perhaps there are any hints which command to avoid in autoit so it isn't recognized as virus?

Hi

i have the same problem most scite files and encodeit files was deleted

If you have encodeIt then delete it, reinstall your autoit and there is no virus

sry for bad english

EnCodeIt is hardly the issue for your False Positive.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Hi,

my Norton Internet Security sometimes delete the file ...AutoIt3\SciTe\Defs\UpdateDefs.exe.

Symantec identifies the file as a Trojan Horse containing a "Downloader".

Reinstalling SciTE resolves the Problem.

These all look like false positives - a common enough problem documented in many, many threads on these forums. Have you reported the problem files to the antivirus vendor for checking and a signature update to skip them if they are false positives? If they are genuinely infected, you need to know that too!
