My antivirus scanner is claiming that the zip file for Crescent Dream (which contains an exe installer) is infected by Trojan.Banker-151

I have a feeling this is a false positive, but I would appreciate it if somebody else could check with another virus scanner.


Hi James,

I get the same virus warning with clamav, but do not see it when executing the installer on a windows box. The game is also playable post-install. Does anyone else get a virus warning with this file?

Thanks,

~IM

I did some digging and noticed that Crescent Dream is packaged using ClickTeam's Install Builder. I downloaded installbuilder, and scanned it, and got the same result. So I am now almost completely certain that this is a false positive.

Probably some virus author packaged a variant of Trojan.Banker into an Install Builder installer, and ClamAV mistakenly took a signature of the installer rather than the viral payload (which is a clumsy thing to do, which IMHO they do far too often)

I already submitted the file to ClamAV as a false positive.
