UnrealIRCd Forums

Hi,

I found no information about that on the forum. If you scan unrealIRCd directory with Mcafee viruscan, it finds a virus named "UnrealIRCd" on files cloak.dll and XXX.cloak.dll.

Do you know why ? Is there a mean to correct that ?

Thanks

Eric

Well, that's either a) false or b) some virus infected your unrealircd. In either case, all our mirrors are ok... And in fact.. if you want to be sure you downloaded a correct unrealircd you could have used md5sum/sha1sum or even better: gpg to check the signature.

Anyway, these are the md5sums for cloak.dll, you could verify yours with md5sum...

non-ssl: ssl: If the output is neither of the above, then I guess some virus infected your unrealircd ;p.

PS: This is, of course, assuming you downloaded Unreal3.2.3 via unrealircd.com

Well, I'm sure it's false. But, in fact, if you scan the directory with the option "scan for malicious programs", you ll see that cloack.dll and XXX.cloak.dll are considered as infected by a malicious program "UnRealIRC".

I use VirusScan Professional Edition v7.00.5000 and the last datfile.

Yeah, pretty much every app developer has had users reporting them their app is a virus, it's nothing new :P.

Complain to mcafee?

I though mcaffee was a virus?

no thats microsoft

If someone would whine to McAffee, the next virus database will not have UnrealIRCd marked as a virus...

its windows....


you know some people use unrealircd on comprised machines. thats why av companies decided to add unrealircd to their virus datebase

well you can exclude it anyway
