AVG detects virus/trojan during install
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2006 3:05 am
Hi,
Of the 3 PCs I've installed birdiesync (1.3.0.2) on, 1 detected a trojan "PSW.Lineage" among the temp files used during the installation. I had to reinstall about 4 times and AVG (the new 7.5 malware version) gave me two warnings each time (I don't remember which file it was exactly, but can probably find out). I'm not very worried about it because I'm assuming it's a false positive, but we should try to resolve it with grisoft.
FYI:
-the same install file was used on another PC (running AVG free) without a problem.
-running the installation on the problem PC always failed to install birdie onto the phone itself ... no options for choosing an install path either. (Eventually, I found the install cabs and installed it manually to get it working)
Thanks very much for this program, it's a big leap forward in Mozilla's synching abilities.
