VBA32 build 3.12.2 released

...nothing wrong if you left the 'trial key' in the installation folder thou. But you may also want to have a copy of it and archived somewhere else, that's what i do to any subscriptions i acquired.

 

Just overwrite the trial key with the purchased one.
Thank you for using Vba32

 

Thanks for replies-
Ive overwritten key as suggested-Thanks

 

Whats going on here!!!

Ive just had an update, and VBA32 has signalled MSN Messenger EX as a Trojan!!!

It recommended a complete scan which has now blocked my messenger, and removed the exe to Quarantine!!

Not happy at this!!!

 

Probably just a FP - maybe let them know about it?

 

Simple fix.
Go into your Quarantine files and select "Restore".
Exclude offending file in Monitor's settings.
Submit offending file to:
feedback <AT> anti-virus.by

PS: was it flagged as infected or suspicious?
Heuristic level at Max or Excessive?

 

Easier said than done Bob!

It was flagged as infected, and the Heuristic was set as the default. When I tried to restore, the whole PC froze and nothing would work. I had to reboot, and when Windows came back up, Windows Live Messenger was completely gone!!

Ive had to reinstal Windows messenger-the original one from the Windows prog.

Ive taken VBA32 out now. Cant be doing with too much of this.

 

I understand.
Odd though, in that I've found VBA32 to be absolutely and utterly stable (which, I'm sure, is of no consolation to you).
Can you nevertheless send the offending file(s) to VBA32 for analysis?
May I also ask which files it flagged as infected?
(I have one of my licenses on a machine with Messenger, so far without incident)

 

Not to beat the issue to death, but was your update MSN Messenger 8 Working BETA?
If so, it may well be infected.

In any case, I would do a full system scan with an alternate AV to make sure there is no malware present.

 

I dont recall ever downloading an update to my Messenger. I am referring to the VBA update that came in. Unless my messenger was updated by Microsoft automatically, which I doubt.

The file that was referred to was Messenger exe, which was in Local disk C -Programme files-MSN Messenger. I cant send anything to be checked because it all dissapeared!

I will check with another Antivirus, and report back.

Thanks for your interest.

 

Just completed a complete scan of PC with Kaspersky 7, and found nothing. I also scanned the remaining files in the MSN Messenger, and again found nothing. I cant scan the exe file because that has been deleted by VBA.

I guess its a false positive, but a dam nuisance all the same!

 

Thank you for posting this in the VBA32 forums. It will be looked into soon.

 

Could you please recall the specific name of the trojan. As I've stated at the Vba32 forum, please send us zipped Qtn folder.

 

I cant recall the exact name of the Trojan, and yes Ive sent you a zipped Qtn folder, as I have said on the Vba32 forum.

 

Thanks

 

It worked better for me to delete the trial key and then click on the license key which I had copied over to the program folder before that.

 

just replace (copy & replace) the key file with the purchased one.
