Came home this afternoon to find my AV Nod32 3.0 saying it had caught a virus trying to enter through HTTP with the above Info.

I submitted the file to ESET for "review". Anybody else see this happen running Rosetta?

EDIT: Well I did a bit more investigating and Boinc redownloaded the file 2 minutes later in which NOD32 didn't have a problem with. I had NOD32 rescan that file again and it found nothing.

Kinda weird that the first file it tried to download got caught with a "virus" and the second time 2 minutes later had no problems.

Some problem during download the application with nod32 security suite 3.0

False positives occasionally happen with work units from most projects.

To the virus scanner, the work unit is just random data. Given enough work units, you will get the occasional string of bits that a virus scanner has in its databbase flagged as a virus.

Work units should be safe, since they are only read and analysed by another program.

Can somebody reassure me that it's ok to run this
programme as my anti-virus(Nod32) is reporting minirosetta 1.07 as "probably a variant of Win32/Statik application"
Thanks in advance

I also got similar virus warning with nod32 2.7.

What specific filename does it flag?

What specific filename does it flag?

minirosetta_1.07_windows_x86_64.exe

Sorry, I hadn't looked at the referenced image yet.

The file refereneced is the application executable for minirosetta

I've notified DK with this information.

I just D/L the 1.07.exe and A.V.G. is fine with it.

I just got another hit from NOD32 3 on another file:
2/8/2008 3:35:19 PM HTTP filter file http://srv1.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/minirosetta_1.07_windows_intelx86.exe probably a variant of Win32/Statik application connection terminated - quarantined Eric-PCEric Threat was detected upon access to web by the application: C:Boincboinc.exe.

However again it downloaded a few minutes later with no problems. I again submitted the file to ESET. Very strange since NOD32 is very well known for it never having false positives.

everyone makes mistakes, so also nod32, i never encountered this with my norton, or with adaware.
so this must be a nod32 error.

Please post any bugs regarding the new minirosetta application here.

Can you shed some light on this problem ????

It looks like someone found some interesting info on this false positive in another message thread.

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=3934&nowrap=true#51314

It looks like it may only be an issue for part of the scanner.

Thx!

My antivirus NOD32 reperted that http://srv3.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/minirosetta_1.07_windows_intelx86.exe
probably contain virus Win32/Statik.

Concerning minirosetta...
My antivirus software detected in it a potential threat... don't know if you're infected and therefore your files are, or if this is a false positive due to a particular signature in the file...
Hope it's a false positive!

use avg free, just as good or better and none of these errors
ive seen things that Avg picks up on that NOD won't virus wise
avg makes for virus free operations and smooth running for rossie no matter what the program

it's a false positive. I contacted ESET about it and they told me to email their developer group and I did. I'm waiting to hear back from them. I'd send them complaints through whatever channels are available so they are alerted to the problem and hopefully do something about it. You can disable the web scanning for boinc.exe or add our site to be skipped in the NOD32 configuration settings.

I have gotten several Minirosetta's today with no warnings from my AV so I am guessing they fixed it.

AVG sucks. It takes more ram, is slower and in tests has more false positives on average then NOD32 does.
In this test AVG catches 25% of the stuff while NOD32 catches 71%
http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2007_11.php
In the pure Virus test they come out neck and neck (except Polymorphic Virus' in which AVG misses a lot):
http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2007_08.php

And again at another 3rd party AV testing site NOD32 out does AVG:
http://www.checkvir.com/index.php?CN=30.3.69&CIE=0

And again NOD32 outdoes AVG in another 3rd party AV tester as well (to see any of the detailed results requires free registration):
http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/index

I can go on. I did a lot of research before buying a AV. NOD32 is hands down the BEST AV out there when compared as a whole package (ram usage, speed, false positives, catches, cleaning, etc...).

This is the first time I have ever had a false positive with NOD32 and have been using it for about a 8 months now. Wouldn't go back to AVG even if they gave it away for free. Wait, they do! Still would rather pay $40 for NOD32. You get what you pay for.

Hmmm....Somehow you had to see some really old version,since I run in company AVG as primary AV and no problems even on very old computers(talking about 128-192MB) and it is not memory hog at any time.(Not even during tests.)

I watch those tests,but real experience tels me that 7.0 from start was able to fully clean computer of >20 with 100%(First job-virus and malware infested comp.)
We use AVG pro-costs maybe 10USD and never had to clean any computer again.(Sofar no virus made it to inbox and patched Windows and AVG will take care of rest...)

Oh,by the way it does catch even potencially unwanted programs like certain adware,hack-tools,flooders(of any service) and so on.

And never ever there was false positive or false negative!
So you might do yourself a favour and try it before bashing...

(You see I have not said anything about NOD because I never used it and never saw in action.)

I have used it, never said I didn't. Used it for about a year before buying NOD32. Used the latest version available. Only benefit of AVG is it is free and that is the only reason why I would recommend somebody use it.
