Has anyone gotten a Trojan infection notice from scar? i have it from scar 2.03 but i downloaded it from Freddys website so idk whats up. i closed out of the window without takin a picture but im runnin a scan test thing again so when thats done i'll post the pic.
if you sownloaded SCAR from Freddy's site, its 100% safe, but I remember that SCSS gave those trojan messages sometime, its safe, dont worry.
What AV do you have?Quote:

SCSS is sometimes flagged as a virus :p
Lol its probably one of those stupid norton it errors.
Theres nothing wrong with scar it is 100% safe.
I just updated my AVG antivirus and it claimed the SCARBrowser contained a trojan. It found it in 3.06 and 3.10. I'm guessing it's a false positive, as I also downloaded it from freddy's website.
i had it, i just ignored it
No, it's a real trojan downloader. From my understanding of the type, it usually pings a server and then downloads an array of the following:
A0034471.exe - A0046925.exe
They download themselves to C:\system volume information\_restore
They do this because it makes it so they survive a system restore.
Manually delete them by accessing the C:\syst vol folder by using start> run
Then run hijack this, and make sure the processes for the trojan downloader are no longer running.
You must be a Jagex staff member. Otherwise, please realize you are posting bullshit. You have absolutely no proof, and have either pulled this out of your ass, or read up on another virus to scare people.Quote:

This is some MAJOR crap. scar doesn't do any of this! Make sure you get scar from freedy1990, and it is COMPLETELY safe.Quote:

Freddy has been around for ages, and hundreds of thousands of people have used scar. NO ONE has gotten a virus from it unless they went to a different site!
Don't post FALSE accusations unless you know what you are talking about.
Edit: I didn't the last post.
Yes, scar is clean, I don't really even think any reputable virus scanner has even given it a false negative. (just the scss program).
And yes, some trojans work like that, but not most, and more importantly, not scar. not to mention that any virus scanner can easily detect actions like that.
It'S doing that cause of silent mouse I think or sumthing like that, it takes control of your computer. (for autoing) As well it doesn't but someday maybe freddy will scam you all! (nah joking man) But think of it, "scar want access to SRL, instead of sending them your proggies it sending them your passes!
Exesive swearing there. (was joking, don't forget that!)

Hola,Hola playa!

(you can if you want, for convenience) but you never have to!
Yea, I know it was just like that :p.
BTW SRL you need to enter your pass for sum scripts.
I have used scar for over 3 years and had no problems and my antivirus has never flagged it when I download it.
ye its jsut paranoid anti virus dont worry bout it.
btw lord i love your new siggy its awsome!
Stop. Double-posting. Another Noob Point.

oh dude srry i double posted i tried to post the first time and it never showed up so i did again.
@ kk i will and np its a good tut.
ok.. there broken links and i dont know y.... ill try to fiqure it out right now. Thanks for pointing that out i probly wouldnt have ever noticed.
ok, i got the same false error (from AVG), so nothing got harmed?
However, kaspersky
Hmm, since a couple of updates ago I've also been experienceing virus warnings from both SCAR and SCARBrowser from AVG Free...
It seems that AVG renders it completely useless somehow because every instance where the virus is detected doesn't work anymore at all... for me it has detected it in every SCAR version including the ones released by kaitnieks...
However, after removing AVG and rebooting and then reinstalling SCAR everything seems to work perfectly fine, including the files that seemed "broken" before...
I ran scar 2.03 trought jotti and apparently AVG, F-Prot and Fortinet detected it as somekind of virus...
However, there aren't many things that SCAR and SCARBrowser have in commen as SCARBrowser dates from before I was developing SCAR, so I will discuss with kaitnieks what the possible causes are and if nessecary dispatch messages to the companys of whom's scanners detect it as a virus...
i updated avg and it got the virus i freaked out though :)
i had same problem with 2.03. but then cleaned and erased it then downloaded the newer one
Why do people even use avg.Its probably the worst antivirus out there.
google this>worst antivisrus software
