nahhh...not likely...just might read that way, but no way chris would do something like that

#275506

But if he did, then.... everything I know..... is wrong :confused:

#275508

I would trust flyakite with my life :).

Seriously, a script like Replacer can also be picked up as a bad script. They mimic the activity of a virus (by removing certain files), but you want these files removed.

Trust me, it's no virus.

-NC

#275509

Oh well, keeping it in quarantine for a while anyway... :/

#275510

Chris' stuff is cool... if anything, it could be your AV prog making assumptions.

If it is infected, I doubt it was distributed from Chris that way.

#275511

anyone with AVG or want to download AVG and confirm a false positive? :cool:

#275513

i dunno what that's about, but i did install flyakite's files and my system completely f****d up. eveything worked well for a day or two and then i had to run system restore to fix it, i didn't mind the first time, but after the next 6 i simply uninstalled it. :(

oh well, but i don't think its a virus, i use Symatec and it never detected a virus from flyakite, i think it might just be the antivirus

#275529

Sorry, but AVG is a squirrily AV at best. It's not a trojan. Unless you infected it with something else. NOD32 says its cool and if NOD says it's cool, you can take it to the bank.

#275543

Don´t worry about it... I get the same message with my X-Box Emulator.

#275559

It probably just got infected from another file that allready had the virus in it.

i have to agree here AVG is crap AV i had it and it said some of the icon i had was a virus

i have the pack installed in 3 pcs and all is great

i run Norton AV corp and its never popped up with anything on my other 2 Pc's i run NoD and its never popped up with anything

#275612

The same thing happened to me this morning, AVG reported those two files in particular. AVG didn't pick it up until after the updates today... hmmm.

I seriously doubt Chris has anything to do with this, I've used his packs for ages, and have never had a problem.

I once had another AV (Avast) report that some fonts installed contained a virus which I seriously doubted, they were installed from the original Adobe Font Folio disk.

AVG sucks. Use a real anti-virus. Avg is free for a reson.

#278495

AVG doesn't suck, and you prob. are infected with a polymorphic virus, you should do something about it quick.

and no, flyakite isn't anything malicious, I guaratee!

#278499

My System down 2 time after running Flyakit SP2 for 1 week...

I don't flyakit is spy by do not trust your hope.

#280130

I am confused. F-secure found a trojan today in the flyakite updater

http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/damrai.shtml

after scanning, f-secure also found it in C:WINDOWSFLYAKITEOSXCURRENT USER SETTINGS.EXE & C:WINDOWSFLYAKITEOSXUNINSTALL.EXE.

I would guess it's a false, cause i use flyakite since almost 30 Weeks and had no problems. What really confuses me is the fact, that the trojan has also been found in the FlyakiteOSX v3.0.exe, which is in FlyakiteOSX v3.0.zip.

I got a read from bitdefender it's i fected.....Any ideas? I KNOW 1000% my syustem was clean, asi had just scanned it with 8 things, not viruses.

#436895

Well, my version of FAK3.5, downloaded from the official site is virus free. And I use AVG too, but it never found anything. Try redownloading from the official list of mirrors from Chris's website, but try a full system scan first.

#436897

I've treid again. And again. And again. Still a trojan.

#438858

look, there is a file included with flyakite call wfpdisable.exe. this file disables the windows file protection so that the system files can be modified with repeated input from the user. this is the file that most anti-virurssoftware picks up as a virus/trojan. it's not. if you don't believe me, don't install flyakite.
