Jeg har lige fået en advarsel af mit antivirusprogram. Mit virusprogram poppede op med med en advarsel, om at der var en virus på min computer. Den hedder Downloader.Swizzor og den skulle lægge i min PokerStars.exe fil.
Er det bare min antivirus-software, der laver numre, eller er jeg på den? Jeg tænker selvfølgelig på, om andre nu kan få adgang til min konto.
Jeg kan ikke komme ind på Stars, da min antivirus-software blokerer.
Virus i Stars-software.
Jeg har forresten AVG Antivirus.
Er der ikke andre, der har oplevet det her?
jo - har også lige fået den. Midt i en sit n go, stopper spillet og siger der er virus. Har kontaktet stars der siger det kun er AVG der reagere på den og at de ifølge deres systemer ikke har virus.
Please note that this is a false alarm introduced by a recent update to
the AVG virus definition file. There is no virus in the PokerStars
update, which we have confirmed through the use of alternate scanners
from McAfee and Symantec.

Fik præcist den samme besked i morges, da jeg startede PokerStars (kører også med AVG). Jeg valgte at uninstalle PokerStars og så installere det igen. Nu får jeg dog at vide at installeren ikke har rettigheder til at installere softwaren - WTF? Kører vista og kører programmet med admin rettigheder...
Nu siger min maskine her, at den er "unable to get latest software version"....
Hello Henrik,
Thank you for your email regarding the AVG warning about the swizzlor
virus threat.
Please note that this is a false alarm introduced by a recent update to
the AVG virus definition file. There is no virus in the PokerStars
update, which we have confirmed through the use of alternate scanners
from McAfee and Symantec.
It is perfectly safe to click on the "Ignore" option and accept the
update from PokerStars. However, should you get an update error, please
disable your AVG software in order to launch your PokerStars program.
Should you be unable to use the "Ignore" option to complete the
PokerStars update, you may launch PokerStars temporarily by skipping the
update process. To do so:
1) Right click on your desktop
2) Choose "New -> Shortcut"
3) Browse your computer to locate "PokerStars.EXE".
It will be accompanied by the familiar red, black and orange icon, and
may not have ".EXE" at the end of it depending on how your computer is
set up. It is likely be in one of these directories (folders):
C:\Program Files\PokerStarsC:\Program Files\PokerStars.NET
4) Give the shortcut a name, and click "OK".
This new shortcut will skip the update process and should allow you to
log on without complaint from AVG. If this fails, you will probably need
to disable AVG temporarily in order to run PokerStars.
To disable AVG in order to run PokerStars, you need to turn off the
"Resident Shield" portion of the program. To do this, open the AVG
control center, and in the section where it says "Security Status",
right click on "Resident Shield" and choose "Properties". Uncheck the
checkbox for "Turn on AVG Resident Shield protection" and click OK.
Please note that either option (bypassing the update, or temporarily
disabling the virus scanner) should only be used temporarily, until AVG
corrects the virus definition file. PokerStars updates are required,
and virus protection is too vital to be disabled for any length of time.
At the moment we are trying to contact the AVG team at Grisoft as
quickly as possible in order to ask them to resolve this issue. We
apologize for the inconvenience this might cause.
Please note that this is not an unusual happening. All virus makers
occasionally put out virus definitions that cause false hits, sometimes
rather in high profile, such as this recent high profile occurrence
involving Adobe:
www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/31/avg_adobe_false_update/
You can see just how common this is by Googling "AVG false alarm":

Lol... Det er jo fucked.
Bliver nødt til at slå min AVG fra hver gang for at komme ind i PokerStars.
Man kan deactivate Resident Shield og så åbne PokerStars og så activate det bagefter igen :) Den kom op med beskeden en gang mere bagefter. Men så trykkede jeg bare ignore...
edit: nå den bliver ved med at komme... gemme den bare væk så :P
edit2: nå den bliver ved med at komme... disable igen
Er det lykkedes nogen at omgå updateren? (som ikke kan hente opdateringerne efter det "virus" gejl) Synes ikke helt jeg kan få det til at stemme overens med supportens løsning til problemet.
Har ikke en PokerStars.exe fil liggende i min folder som beskrevet men kun en PokerStarsupdate og PokerStarscommunicate
Nu har jeg opdateret min AVG free manuelt, og der kommer ikke flere advarsler. Jeg kan både logge ind på stars igen og opdatere software.
Endnu en falsk positive fra AVG...men det sker jo.
Men her funker det i hvert fald igen.
utroligt det ikke bliver tjekket inden de smider sådan en update op. Hvor mange mails mon de får pga den opdatering. For dårligt af sådan et stort site. Men supporten er hurtigt altid noget :)
