Hi Ken
Thanks for your help Ken, I will keep updating the Virus data base and testing a sequence until it is fixed!

Hi
Sorry I added the reply twice!
I have spoken to one of the authors and it's version 4.48 if that helps!

Hi Ken
Sorry, I don't know the version they are made on as they are competition entries, I would assume it would be a version of PTE6 as they are from two of Britain's top workers. - I have moved them to the virus vault for now and updated AVG (free version) which is now 9.0.733 the Virus db is 271.1.1/2728 - I then inserted the CD I received with one on and it still finds the virus.

Hi again
Meant to say that I think the AV's were made last year as one was entered into the Nationals. I did try to contact AVG but couldn't find a direct route as it's the free version I am using!

Hi
This morning two of the PTE exe files from the competition I am running have been picked up by the AVG Resident Shield alert as having the Trojan horse BackDoor.Hupigon5.ARYN virus. I scanned them before I put them on the machine and they were fine, I opened the folder last night and it didn't pick them up then. In the past AVG has removed exe files with 'viruses' which weren't. I am assuming this is the case here?

I decided to have a go at restoring some of my files by right clicking on them in the Virus Vault and clicking Restore File(s), as I wanted to see if mine had been corrupted. I tried three and watched them carefully for any problems and they all worked fine.

Hi Ken
Just read your last posting and was glad to learn that AVG had sorted it. On my computer AVG normally updates itself but it obviously hadn't gotten round to it today as I again checked my CD with 'The Barn' on it and it still showed the virus. After manually updating AVG I have a big smile on my face - all clear!
Thanks again to all

Hoping for some improvement after the latest update from AVG today at 1959 hrs I was sadly disappointed. As a test I downloaded from Creating Slideshows forum, 'Cold' and 'A New Day'.
Without unzipping, a manual scan on each file told me 'Cold' is clean, A New Day', virus found. Both have been left unzipped for the time being.
I wish to reinstall Friday's deleted files from a back up on CD, hoping AVG will have sorted this tomorrow. Not holding my breath though!
Hi
I too am running AVG on my main computer. Friday it detected 38 of my exe files as having the PSW.Banker trojan and 'healed' quite a few of them, including 'The Barn' and 'A New Day' before I could stop it! Both were made some time ago but I'm not sure on what version of PTE. I was going to retrieve them from the Virus Vault but it seems from previous correspondence in the Forum they might be useless. Fortunately I also have them on the laptop (running Norton).
Have been away for the weekend and was hoping that AVG would have fixed the problem by now. It's great to have this Forum to look at, I'd be really panicking if it wasn't for it!!
Thanks

Hi
I tried the CD again late last night (I am trying to play the sequence directly from the CD so didn't try copying it onto the PC as mentioned by Ken) - it worked - no virus. I then discovered that the sequences I had placed in the virus vault had been returned to their original folder. I haven't played them fully but they start ok. I always have the Resident Shield set to 'Ask me before removing threats' so at least I have control.
Thanks to everyone for all the help getting it sorted.
