franvarona Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 McAfee antivirus is detecting -and deleting- AutoIt exes as a "StartPage-JR" virus since Sept. 25th. This is a terrible issue, because lots of my customers have McAfee installed. Does anyone in AutoIt know anything about it? Any suggestions?

Moderators SmOke_N Posted October 4, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2006 Try http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/ 3.2.1.5 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Bräu Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi,I have the same problem, too:I have the same problem today (04/10/2006). Impossible to compile any script.McAfee delete all executable files created by autoItWhich version do your McAfee virus definition files have? Mine is 4865, created on 03/10/2006.The only problem seems to be the default icon, when you compile your script with another icon, mcAfee won't find any virus...see also my other thread Andi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franvarona Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks, Andreas, I read your post and I repeat my answer here. My McAfee definition file is the same as yours. And if you use a custom icon, McAfee doesn't detect the exe file as a virus. It's weird, but at least we have a solution. And, Swent, it seems a bit childish to say things like that, don't you think so? I have lots of customers with McAfee software, without a problem. In corporative antivirus, it's one of the best.

franvarona Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Sorry, SmOke_N, I saw the other post and tried the other solution before, but I had downloaded the beta version. Now I have tested it, and it runs OK: even if you use the default icon, McAfee doesn't detect the exe file as a virus. Thanks Fran Varona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson23 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 As I have made a submission to webimmune Analysis ID: 2566204 I have now found that newly released dats today 4866 no longer detect this as a virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
