Daemon Tools .dll File
When I woke up this morning and checked the results of my scheduled virus scan, I noticed that BitDefender had deleted the DTPROHLP.DLL file from my Daemon Tools directory, stating that it was a Adware.Generic.18820. Daemon Tools contains optional adware for free users, and this is probably what was detected - i.e. the…

Cryptload: Nc.exe
I'm hoping this is a false positive... CryptLoad is (to the best of my knowledge) a legit download manager for RapidShare and other sites like that. BitDefender today found a virus in the package, and the details are as follows: nc.exe = Virtool.5881 The file is used to reconnect to the router if a disconnection occurs. I…

Auralog Learn Spanish: Flashplayer7_winax.exe
When I insert my Auralog Learn Spanish disc BitDefender alerts me that there's a virus. Here are the details: flashplayer7_winax.exe = Backdoor.Hupigon.18569 I submitted the file to VirusTotal, and none of the 36 scans found anything (not even BitDefender, curiously enough!):…

Far Cry 2 Trainer: Reported Virus
I'm 95% sure this is a false positive, but I'd like to double check. I downloaded this trainer from a forum on gamefaqs.com (made by a regular member) and when I extracted it BitDefender went nuts. It says the file is a virus, "Virtool.529" to be exact. Other members reported getting virus alerts too, and you can see these…

Fl Studio's "toxic Biohazard" .dlls
Today I woke up to find that the two Toxic Biohazard DLL files in my Fruityloops directory had been deleted by BitDefender. These files are not trojans, but I can't submit the files because they were deleted outright, as opposed to being sent to quarantine. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=222412 The files in…

Suspected Virus
One of the many dodgy emails I get had this file attached, and I submitted it to VirusTotal.com for a scan after BitDefender found nothing in it. VirusTotal said that 13 out of 31 scans showed it to be a trojan (they all gave different names for it). I certainly wasn't going to run the file and find out for myself, but I…

Rosetta Stone Data Files Shown As "exploit.swf.gen"
I have The Rosetta Stone language learning software installed on my system, with the Spanish (Latin America) language packs installed. Today, after a scheduled virus scan, seven data files from the Application Data folder on my Windows XP SP3 system were detected as "Exploit.SWF.Gen". This alert has never come up before,…

False Positive: Xp Sp2 Max Half-open Connections Hack
I'm 99.9% sure that this is not a virus, but BitDefender thinks it is: http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads It causes BitDefender to throw up an alert, "Trojan.Generic.221274". It's a hack for P2P users, allowing them to increase the maximum number of half-open connections. SP2 for Windows XP reduced the number to…

Solved:possible False Positive
I downloaded the trial version of this program from its main website, and as soon as the zip had downloaded BitDefender threw up an alert: Trojan.Generic.75056 I wasn't sure if I should attach the file to my post, because it's 1.5MB. But you can download it (in a zip archive) from the link below (scroll to the bottom):…

"trojan.mitglieder.q" Undetected By Bitdefender
I'm not sure where I should post this, or it's even necessary for me to do so, but I can't see any harm in it, so here goes I just finished re-installing Windows because I became infected with Trojan.Mitglieder.Q and was unable to salvage my system before it blue-screened. It was my own carelessness that led me to become…

Is It Possible To Schedule A Pre-boot Virus Scan?
Greetings! I'm a new user of BitDefender Total Security 2008, having upgraded from Avast! Anti-virus & Comodo Personal Firewall last week. With Avast! I was able to schedule a virus scan that would take place before the operating system booted. Is it possible to do this with BitDefender? I became aware of the BD RescueCD…
