    Hi all. New to this forum. Have had TDS-3 for awhile.
    I installed a small desktop utility referred by Lockergnome and the LangaList. It's called StatBar and shows cpu usage, free ram, etc. TDS says that it's an unknown trojan. I deleted it, uninstalled it, removed the folder and ran a registry cleaner. Downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled. Again TDS-3 says it's an unknown trojan. Does anyone know anything about StatBar? Could TDS be wrong? BTW, I removed StatBar. :doubt:

    Hi Hounddog,
    not sure where you downloaded the program, i got it now from the place Pete posted from their first mirror the zipped edition and scanned that, unzipped it and scanned again, not any alarm with that.
    Did you d/l it from another maybe less trusted location?

    Got it from a link at statbar home page. Did you install it and let it run? That's when TDS picked it up (memory process).

    PS. Yes, from same address ( the first zip option ) Tried the EXE. version also. (same result)

    Same file Blaze, from the same place?
    With a TDS scan?
    False positives with TDS? what did Gavin tell you about the files you submitted to him from those alarms?
    If this would have been the same file and same suspicious code and the original was submitted for advice, the refining in detection would have been added to the references since and no further alerts would have been given as "suspicious" but a name or "not a trojan" or such a message would have been given to it.
    So either it is a different file you're talking about or it was never submitted, but it is impossible you would get a name for a nasty on the same file another gets an alarm "suspicious" without mentioning a name.

    Statbar is not a trojan, the author has been informed how to fix the problem if they wish :) I thought there was a new version available which wouldn't be detected.. dont worry about it for now :)

    :D now thats service not only did you hear it from the man but he also take the time to help out the maker of the file to fix it

    :D

    nah Jooske i had similar problems with old tds and out dated database

    and yup i turn in all my stuffs to the big boys for review

    one thing i love about those guys is the privacy service they provide

    they really do respect your privacy and confidentiality no question's asked when submitting a file

    just a yes or no either by bord or by private e-mail

    i think thats perty nice :D
