JSGME a Trojan?

deacon211 · 08-24-09, 02:33 PM

Hey all,

Recently reloaded a fresh copy of SH4 with various mods. Running a recent computer scan I got a warning that JSGME.exe was the Artemis trojan and McAfee quarantined it.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm thinking that this is just McAfee misidentifying JSGME but am afraid I got a corrupted version somewhere.

Thanks for the help!

Deacon

McAfee has a horrible tendency to misjudge simple programs that cause no harm, even such, you are better off redownloading it to be on the safe side

Morpheus, that post looks so cool in Smart Dark! I'm stealing that technique immediately!

Heh. We Linux users ought to steal that technique. Post everything in black. 'Cause, you know... we're always lurking in the background, always watching, waiting for that perfect opportunity to sit up and say "I use Linux. What malware were you talking about, again?"

Seriously, I consider myself a geek, and I don't bother with security software on Vista, at all. I don't use it for anything but game playing and simulation, so why bother? Besides, if someone stole my identity... well, heck, maybe they'll pay my bills while they're at it

Anti-virus programs of all types are increasingly sensitive and give greater and greater proportions of false alarms. If you know the character of the "bogus" program you need to tell your anti-virus to ignore that program. JSGME is not a trojan of any sort.

One interesting thing: why are you paying for anti-virus protection when free AVG and Avast! are just as good, maybe better? I've used them for ten years with no problems whatever.

So unquarantine JSGME, tell McAfee to get a life and quit bothering you about JSGME and get back to the game!

funny...I thought JSGME was a spartan not a trojan...i bet study antiquities more.

Use AVG and Avast also. Never have or had a problem.

Have them installed on 3 laptops and 2 desktops.

With XP Pro sp2 and Vista 64 Ultimate.

False Positive.

deacon211 · 08-24-09, 03:29 PM

LOL! Yeah, that's what I was figuring. My concern was more that someone had hijacked a copy of JSGME and messed with it. Just wanted to see if this had ever come up for anyone else.

Thanks for the quick responses!

With AVG you can send a suspect file in quarantine up for investigation, and get a verdict within a few days by email. I can't remember if McAfee has the same option but I guess so.

False alarms happens from both payware and freeware it seems...
Most annoying...

I use Comodo Internet Security which includes firewall, antivirus and defense plus, and which is free from here:
http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/

I have however disabled their antivirus live protection: I got some false alarms about programs, which had been on my pc before and during Comodo was there, so again most annoying...

So, for the live antivirus protection, I have installed AVG, also freeware:
http://www.avg.com/

The freeware is if not better then at least just as good as the expensive payware from McAfee, Symantec (Norton) etc...
