PC WIZARD 2005 contains: Heuristic/Trojan.Downloader

C:\PROGRAM FILES\PC WIZARD 2005\WEB\IS-C800J.TMP
File contains: Heuristic/Trojan.Downloader\

downloaded PCWizard 2005 from Major Geek's Com. which is a reliable site BUT my Antivir9x anti virus program reports it contains a "Heuristic /Trojan Dialer" which it also stores in my system restore but always with a different file name.

Every time I restart the set up program PCW2005_V165.exe it loads a different named file in PCWizard2005\WEB\ (always a different name with the extension).tmp and Antivir9x reports what ever file name is place in WEB as a trojan and deletes it.

After set up the PCWizard seems to run fine without the deleted file. However when I tried using AVG antivirus it did not detect anything wrong.

Can you tell me if this FREE program PCWizard2005 contains a trojan?

Oh the .tmp file is usually given a name like IS-236FT.tmp or C800J.tmp and then it is renamed to something like WEBUFDT.exe and other names and stored in System _restore file for one and it may be also placed in other places. I found this by closing my antivirus program and letting the setup run and then traced the trojan file down by restoring the antivirus program.

 

Welcome to MG Ramars.

I have downloaded and scanned PC Wizard 2005 and it comes back clean for me. There are certain 'legit' programs that will set off virus software saying you have a trojan when in fact you don't...for example, a keylogger you have chosen to install.

In this case, I am not familiar with the program or how it works so I really can't say what is going on other than what I said above. I have alerted the site owners about this situation so you can expect a response after they check everything out.

 

Thank you but I can assure you there are no 'legit' programs that will set it off on my computer. Download and use the FREE antivirus program I used to detect it if you like. I am sure it is a trojan because it keeps changing the name of the file it stores to a random name. This is not a legitimate thing.
I don't think they take my report seriously but a dialer can cost you anywhere from $25 to several hundred dollars a minute and I think someone has put something over on Major Geeks.
