Ed Spurrell 2 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi All, I check the 'giveaway' site every day and install free programs from reputable vendors. Today I tried to install WonderFox DVD Video Converter 8.6 and ESET Smart security picks up a variant of Generik.CDIJVJO Trojan. I have installed this software a while back before I upgraded to Windows 10. I had to reformat and install Windows 10 fresh because of a few bugs and of course I lost my registered copy of this program. Others are reporting they installed this software without an issue. So was wondering if ESET is being picky Any suggestions to help me install this program today because the offer will expire today? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,070 Posted October 21, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 21, 2015 Try the following: - run manual update so that you have the most current signature database installed - restore the file from quarantine - rescan the file. It's likely it was a false positive which is not detected any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Insiders stackz 112 Posted October 21, 2015 ESET Insiders Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Assuming you mean GiveAwayoftheDay: I just checked the download with Virus signature db: 12442 and ESET didn't detect anything. Ran the installer in a VM and all it did was ask to change the browser homepage to giveawayoftheday.com Also a registry key HKCU\Software\GiveAwayofTheDay.com was created. oops...ninja post - Marcos beat me to it.

Ed Spurrell 2 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I have downloaded the file again and I still get the same error. I will attempt to attach a screenshot to this post. I have restored it from quarantine but still no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Ed Spurrell 2 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Solution Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well I decided to go against my better judgement and disable ESET and install the software. All went well and a full scan of WonderFox DVD Video Converter folder was clean and program works fine. I always like to be sure and trust ESET to protect my system. Greatly appreciate all your replies and will mark as solved cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,070 Posted October 22, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2015 Please check the version of the signature database and make sure it's up to date. The detection was removed a longer time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
