Kurt Friday Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 OK, I think this is a false alarm but I I think this needs to be investigated. I downloaded LV2009_ENG_32.exe from the standard download and evaluate LabVIEW link https://lumen.ni.com/nicif/us/lveval/content.xhtml However when I run the downloaded file "LV2009_ENG_32.exe" through F-PROT virus scanner I get the following virus detected W32/Virut.AI!Generic See the following report generated by F-Prot -----------------------------SCAN REPORT----------------------------- F-PROT Antivirus for Windows Antivirus Scanning Engine version number: 4.5.1 Virus signature file from: 11/4/2009, 3:23 AM Scan name: [Custom Scan] Path to scan: C:\Temp\LV2009_ENG_32.exe| Normal scan Also scan: Inside subfolders, Compressed files, Streams Scan started: 11/4/2009, 5:25:21 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------- [Found virus] <W32/Virut.AI!Generic (not disinfectable)> C:\Temp\LV2009_ENG_32.exe->(ZIP)->Products/MDFSupport/MDF/MDFSupport1.cab->misetup.bin.F5D87C60_CF9D_4AC4_8480_40189BD11225 [Contains infected objects] C:\Temp\LV2009_ENG_32.exe [Quarantined] C:\Temp\LV2009_ENG_32.exe->(ZIP)->setup.ini --------------------------------------------------------------------- Scan ended: 11/4/2009, 5:47:35 PM Duration: 0:22:13 Scan result: Scanned files: 1 Infected objects: 1 Disinfected objects: 0 Quarantined files: 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- I've scanned the file through AVG but that particular variant of the virus doesn't appear in AVG's database. I've tested this on a clean uninfected machine, can someone else verify this if possible? If NI could also just confirm this is a false alarm as well Quote Link to comment
asbo Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 It quarantined an INI file? Definitely a false alarm ... though how it came to be recognized as a virus is perplexing. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, definitely but it seemed to have issue with this file as well.
