Windows [virusses on TFS]

[JulianoSMM]

Hello guys. I never had this kind of problem with TFS, but... So, my antivir, found some trojan in TFS.exe AND in mystic spirit.rar Oo... There is two possibilites:

First one: Yeah, I got a trojan.
Two: It is just a false thread.

So, I would like to know if you guys can tell me something about it...

Here is the SS:

I think your antivirus is f*cked atm, so no worries, unless you already had a trojan which somehow infected the .exe, I don't even know what I'm talking about right now

 

[bobtuck]

lol my anti virus found a trojan in tfs 0.2 patch 14, but in patch 16 it's fine.

Maybe you downloaded The Forgotten Server in another place than OTLand.
Here on OTLand I can guarrantee no viruses.

 

[Rizz]

@up Nah, I get the same, it started after some AntiVir update a few days ago, I simply decided to disable AntiVir and get some other.

"Delf"

no virus

 

[Dark Warrior]

it's false alert... I got the same problem with Kaspersky... Well if you think it's a trojan download the sources and compile it yourself

my computer picks things up trying to connect to the net...

AVG picks it up too, same with evolutions... Might be something in the core source.

Wont be a virus though

Many virus scanners dont see TFS as an virus, but some do. In that case you are able to disbale your virus scanner (In a way that it will acsept it) it depents on what type of virus scanner you are using.

It uses libboost 1.36.0 now.. also, as we know GUI is in WinAPI, so I'm more wondering why it wasn't used as virus BEFORE

My AVG doesn't sense anything with it, you might want to lower your security level...

Its not really recommended to disable your antivirus, since it leaves your comp vunerable...

A better alternative, when the computer reports TFS as a virus (which it is not), is to add it to the antivirus exception-list, thus it will ignore it, and wont give off any alerts about it.

Yeah i had that problem to, but i simply added it into the exeption list, and now it wont make a peep about it anymore

 

[JulianoSMM]

Sure budy, I'll add the TFS in exeption list. Althoug, the server will be without virus protection? If yes, I'll have to find other anti-virus software.

Thank you!

 

[Nikkster]

Yea same with my anti-virus program... But, I always press "ignore". xD

Adding TFS to the exeption list wont "leave the server without virus protection", thats the reason why i said "add it to exeption list".

The antivirus dosnt protect the server program, it protects the COMPUTER against viruses, and by adding the server .exe to the exception list, you're basically telling the antivirus that "this specific file is 100% trusted, and you should not bother with this file ever again", thus your computer is still protected against every other virus, however it will ignore the tfs .exe and thus not make virus alerts all the time.
