Next Sensor---------Trojan SHeur.ALB

andy08 · Jul 14, 2007

Hi everyone

I've downloaded Nextsensor from your main page. I've got during a AVG Virus Scan the info that there is a Trojan horse SHeur.ALB inside Nextsensor.I went to
the webpage of Nextsensor, a russian site, and found this explaination:

"Please note that some small numerous anti-virus packages, e.g. AVG Antivirus, can falsely indicate a problem around NextSensor of all versions. We inform you that our software is 100% clean and doesn’t contain any destructive code! We suggest you to free from such extremely "intelligent" antiviruses and to use anti-virus software of well-known companies only, for example from Doctor Web Co.Ltd."
Is AVG small? and Dr.Web the best?rolleyes Did I miss something?confused.
I decided to delete Nextsensor, especially when the trojan horse came up again after sending it to the vault. Only my two cents.

Hi

Seems at present AVG and its latest Virus Definition file is finding a whole host of legitimate programs as Trojans when they are not,

One of the worst instances this past week has been this in AVG falsely highlighting Quickbook by Intuit as a trojan ( suprisingly the same family of trojans as you found SHeur.AFJ ) http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/dosearch.aspx?kbid=1007372

Majorgeeks prides itself as being one of the very first Download sites if not the first to test every download it lists, for malware and for usablity, which is why we dont list every last peice of software around, but on occasion their will as everyone is human the odd file that could get through a nasty, but these are removed very quickly as we have a great following the alert the owners of said software.

Nextsensor I have used in the past and know it to be very safe, but cheers for highlighting this to us
