ChessGenius Classic 7.200e Download

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello together,

each time when I want to download the current version of Genius 7.200e,
I get as registered user -with valid license key- the message from my
AntiVirus-software (AntiVir-Guard):

A Trojan TR/Killwin.GV was detected - consequence: the execution of the
download is not possible / failed each time.

Who has made similar experiences with this chess program?
I have sent an EMail to the chessgenius-support address.

Note: http://www.chessgenius.com - link "Chessgenius / Desktop PC´s

Best wishes,
Norbert

Hi Norbert,

Probably a false positive, but a bit worrying. Here's results of online scan.
Scan taken on 23 Jul 2008 12:21:31 (GMT)

A-Squared Found nothing
AntiVir Found TR/Killwin.GV
ArcaVir Found nothing
Avast Found nothing
AVG Antivirus Found nothing
BitDefender Found nothing
ClamAV Found nothing
CPsecure Found nothing
Dr.Web Found nothing
F-Prot Antivirus Found nothing
F-Secure Anti-Virus Found Trojan.Win32.KillWin.gv
Fortinet Found W32/KillWin.GV!tr
Ikarus Found Trojan.Win32.KillWin.gv
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Found Trojan.Win32.KillWin.gv
NOD32 Found nothing
Norman Virus Control Found nothing
Panda Antivirus Found nothing
Sophos Antivirus Found nothing
VirusBuster Found nothing
VBA32 Found Trojan.Win32.KillWin.gv
Nod (which I trust the most) gives it the all clear.

Jim.

I down loaded last week with no problems. I didn't pick up any viruses or trojans either.
