Spyware in new Caravelle!

Postby mrjake2002 » Tue Aug 05, 2008 4:42 pm

Just a heads up, the new Caravelle packages use an exe which is infected with "not-a-virus:AdWare.Win32.Eshopper"



Pity, it looked like a good-un!

I'm very surprised as this comes from AFG - one of the most respected & professional FS design teams ..... I'll check it out ....

Thanks

Many times these kinds of things are "false positives", as the antivirus software definition files are not "honed" tightly to a particular signature.

Yup I scanned all the AFG Caravelles with scanzilla it & found nothing - forgot about it. (AFG are very professional people) I again scanned it today with adaware & again clean. What program are you using?

I'd forgotten about this... it turns out my Kaspersky was just being over sensitive. Sorry for any inconvenience, the aircraft is excellent!
