    Hello

    This Dll does not contain any virus or trojan at all.
    GoldenOSD.dll
    -goldendvb.webs.com/GoldenOSD/GoldenOSD_2.55.zip-
    But Nod32 sayes that probably a variant of Win32/Genetik
    All the other antivirus say it dosen't contain any virus!
    ~VirusTotal link removed per Policy~
    How can you be sure of that?
    1st
    unpack GoldenOSD.dll using UPXShell, the new file size will be about 1.5 MB.
    2nd
    Resacn again with NOD32, Result is no virus at all.
    3rd
    pack it again with UPXShell, file size will be about 450 KB.
    Rescan again with nod32, Result probably a trojan.

    Can you fix this please?

    Hello Mr. Brummelchen

    Yes I tried upxshell with all options.

    Tried upx with these options compress better, compress faster and force compression of suspicious files.
    Sorry I didn't mention that the file was packed with UPX.

    Tried ASProtect, the result was ok with nod32 and the well known antivirus as well;
    But it was terrible with 6 other antivirus.
    So I preferred to use upx or upxshell

    Here is a link to last version which was packed and ok with nod32
    hxxp://goldendvb.webs.com/GoldenOSD/GoldenOSD_2.49.zip

    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    Using of the run-time packers has more disadvantages than benefits.
    Packed files takes longer time to start because they must be unpacked 2 times. First time by anti-virus and second time prior to running. The OS Loader generally cannot progressively load a packed executable. Situation is very bad with heavily packed executables.
    In the case an executable contains a suspicious looking code adding a run-time packer may cause to evaluate it more strictly.
    The packed executable is distributed in a ZIP archive. It is packed 2 times. I expect if you put an uncompressed DLL there, the size of the ZIP archive will be very similar.

    depends - for older machines its a bit difficult to judge - faster loading from
    slower hdd and less ram due that doubled file in ram. or slower loading with
    less ram use. on newer machines (4-6 years) there is not really a difference.
    in the beginning of usb-sticks faster and less bytes loading was recommended too,
    but nowerdays? actual a protection is IMO only useful for commercial software.
    and some really brand new products for 32&64 bits in one file compression
    is not possible or only with special runtime packers. (see Defraggler/CCleaner)
