Trojan horse in Exult?

Post by ultima7fan »

I scanned my HD today with AVG Grisoft's latest virus definitions and it detected a trojan horse in Exult.

The test results were:
Trojan Horse PSW.Bancban.2.l

The infected file was:
exult-1.2-win32.exe

I don't understand it...no other files on my computer were infected (I have a very 'clean' system) so it couldn't have been cross-infection.

I don't know if the file is actually infected or if it is a false alarm, I mean I've executed Exult and by now if I had a trojan on my system my firewall would've been detecting unusual internet traffic.

Any ideas?

False alarm. Report that to that Anti-Virus software company.

Yeah, I've been getting the same warning from AVG with this, and when I download xu4 strangely. Looks like its just AVG being paranoid...

Some anti-virus-programs look for "suspicious" segments in executables. Unfortunately "SFX-Maker" which is used by us and xu4 shows such segemtns and triggers the alarm. Which only shows how unreliable Anti-Virus programs can be.
