EANB Posted July 9, 2007 I thought I would just say this= Because zdaemon was kinda acting up and stuff I uninstalled it and downloaded it again. I installed it fine, but when I clicked the zlauncher I got this= "Threat Detected! Trojan Horse Generic detected in ...Programfiles/zdaemon/zslupdt.exe Type: Trojan Horse Generic4.DPT" WTF? Zdaemon gave me a virus? Has anyone else had this problem? The offending files are now festering inside my virus vault. 0 Share this post Link to post
doom2day Posted July 9, 2007 Where did you get it from? EDIT Wow. I was quick to post. 0 Share this post Link to post
EANB Posted July 9, 2007 I got it from the zdaemon website, the download that says= ZDaemon 1.08.03 setup (Europe) (setup-style program: nothing else needed). 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 9, 2007 Hmm can you keep the original file you downloaded and put it up somewhere for examination? 1 Share this post Link to post
EANB Posted July 9, 2007 How would I go about doing that? I still have the zdaemon10803-setup and the zlauncher, but I dont think any file hosting site looks to fondly on putting up items with viruses on them. 0 Share this post Link to post
doom2day Posted July 9, 2007 what is zslupdt.exe? I do not remember that having a part in ZDaemon. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted July 9, 2007 Seems others have had problems with this one: http://forums.zdaemon.org/viewtopic.php?p=183311&sid=dffece2e84dcb3831b2fd32993e37942 http://forums.zdaemon.org/viewtopic.php?t=10022&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=virus but it's most likely a false positive...quite timeline too. 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted July 11, 2007 AVG is flagging up problems with fmod.dll with the latest updates. http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=14185 0 Share this post Link to post
hawkwind Posted July 12, 2007 Enjay said:AVG is flagging up problems with fmod.dll with the latest updates. http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=14185 Yes, this has happened to me today also. I have since deleted AVG and used System Restore to get everything to run ok. ..... now will I reinstall AVG and see what happens ? .... 0 Share this post Link to post
Antidote Posted July 12, 2007 This is strange, according to Randy, it is the same fmod.dll file included in all versions of ZDoom released in the last year. In other words, unchanged since ZDoom 2.1.6, and therefore all ZDoom versions would be "infected" (using the term lightly). Curious as to why when I scan with AVG Free, my fmod.dll from ZDoom 2.1.6 has no threats associated with it. Something must have changed, regardless of what he said. (Tech info: AVG is up to date, ZDoom 2.1.6 folder and files located on slave drive, if that helps any) Edit: I meant 2.1.6 not 2.1.7. Edit2: I realize I am talking about ZDoom and not ZDaemon. I don't have ZDaemon, so I can't speak on its behalf. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheDarkArchon Posted July 12, 2007 Simple really: ZDoom 2.1.6 is a year and a half old. Also, even World of Warcraft had this problem. 0 Share this post Link to post
Antidote Posted July 12, 2007 That still goes without saying, fmod.dll is still the same since the past year. Ok I did a test of my current ZDoom 2.1.7's fmod.dll, and GZDoom 1.0.24's fmod.dll, and it produced no results. AVG updated this morning as I turned on my computer. Something might have changed since I downloaded both? Perhaps. Although nothing is certain. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah, AVG is the one to blame here. The files are all perfectly fine, AVG just misidentified them, somehow. As long as it updates today, it should stop flagging those files 0 Share this post Link to post

hawkwind Posted July 12, 2007 I can confirm that the latest AVG virus definitions as of today are fine. No threat associated with fmod.dll. I can imagine that AVG got a heap of complaints about this one .... 0 Share this post Link to post

leileilol Posted July 19, 2007 well, considering it does seek and delete doom2.wad when it wants to I think avg is onto something 0 Share this post Link to post
LexiMax Posted July 20, 2007 AVG is kind of terrible as an antivirus program anyway. From what I've read, avast! has consistantly ranked higher in tests, so I've been giving that a spin recently. Your third option is Antivir, but although it's a decent enough program, I don't think the free version can actually 'fix' files, just quarrentine them. leileilol said:well, considering it does seek and delete doom2.wad when it wants to I think avg is onto something http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/ZDaemon 0 Share this post Link to post
