Rising Sun Downloaders A heads up :Virus's

RDDR · 06-02-09, 05:09 PM

I downloaded Maddys The fall of the Rising Sun today.
Really looking forward to getting it up and running.

Unfortunately I detected Trogen worms attached to two of the Bug fixes,and another update.
I sent Maddy an Alert PM to let him know,then on second thought figured it would be wise to let everyone know as soon as possible what has happened.
I have a very tough Anti Virus program that slams the door on any site that is unsafe, however for some that might not be the case.
The first fix had a virus { Win32 Trogen-gen(Other) Virus/Worm/VPS version 090601-06/12009}

Hope this is helps and is repaired as soon as possible,and hope if anyone had the same prob as myself that they are OK and it was detected.
If you have recently downloaded and noticed nothing, it would still be a good idea to perform a Deep Scan for safety sake.

Cheers,RDDR

What AV are you running? My wife works for a data protection company and one of our friends there set up their own in-house AV program on our PCs. I had always thought it was more advanced then off the shelf AV programs.. and I detected nothing downloading FOTRS. Just curious to know what you are running so I can ask some questions.

Greetings from San Diego Highbury.
I'm using the paid Upgrade version of Avast as well as Malwarebytes and Super Anti Syware.
I've used them all, ie Norton, AVG, and McCaffe.
Found this combo really keeps me as protected as you can get.
The virus';s were there at 11:30AM Pacific.

Cheers RDDR

I have exactly same problems when downloading updates for FOTRS, when trying to download them, my avast AV program alway warned me that there is virus in these files so I couldn't download these.

Chaoic out...

Sometimes a pic works better.
Hope it gets repaired soon.

Google that malware name...could be a false positive.

Still, thanks for the alert.

RDDR · 06-03-09, 10:18 AM

Im not going to Google anything.

I think I have done the responsible thing, and thats to alert the community.
Perhaps someone might offer to zip up and send me the fixes.
I would really like to get Maddys addon working
