Virus Detected by Norton Internet Security 2008

Igor,

My weekly full system scan by Norton Internet Security 2008 has reported the following: Risk Name: Suspicious.MH690. It found this in the program SetupVideoInet.exe in the following beta releases: 10,11,12,14,15,16 using its heuristic virus detection techniques.

I never installed beta 13 which is why that version isn't reported against. I also still have betas 8 and 9 installed and it didn't report against these either. So the suspicious code would seem to have been introduced at beta 10 and is present from there onwards.

I leave it to you to follow this up with Symantec.

The same virus scan also reported my login cookie for the forum website as a piece of "adware" and removed it. Perhaps you could also tell Symantec that this particular cookie is a "good" cookie, not a "bad" cookie.

regards,

Peter

Peter,

Thanks for letting me know.

It is a false virus detection. This SetupVideoInet.exe file (20 KB) intended to install VideoInet.dll file with updated Youtube/Vimeo settings.

I just checked up this file with 38 antiviruses on http://www.virustotal.com and see that two antiviruses (Panda and ClamAV) mistakenly mark this file as a virus.

We'll write them about this problem to fix it ASAP.
