Guest richardm Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi - I just attempted to install AutoIT v.3.2.0.1. The .exe ran and my AVG virus scanner immediately reported a Trojan Horse PSW.Lineage.PQ in InstallOptions.dll. This may be a false positive, but I thought you'd like to know about it just in case!

jpm 131 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 More InstallOptions.dll is not part of AutoIT setup so why to post here? Link to post Share on other sites
richardm 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Did you read the sticky on top of this forum?Nope. I drilled down to the forum I originally misposted in straight from the autoitscript.com homepage. Never even saw the other forums. Sorry if it's a question that gets repeatedly asked, I know that gets annoying.More InstallOptions.dll is not part of AutoIT setup so why to post here?Really? When running autoit-v3.2.0.1-setup.exe, files are extracted to a temporary folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\ , presumably as support for the installation program. One of those files is apparently InstallOptions.dll which is what triggered the warning. If InstallOptions.dll is really not extracted from the AutoIT setup.exe then presumably I have a different problem.More simply, I was installing AutoIT and during that process my virus scanner flagged InstallOptions.dll as being infected. Why would I not post about it here? I actually thought I was being helpful. Link to post Share on other sites

Why would I not post about it here? I actually thought I was being helpful.The DLL you refer to is part of the NSIS installer so the false positive will occur on any installer build with NSIS.There is no need to feel offended... you need to realise that many people make these type of post in the AutoIt forum and even accuse us of spreading viruses in a less then polite way ...
