OS5 install bug: VirusUpdater.dll contains virus?

  • Downloaded the OS5.0 beta installer for Windows 64 bit.
    FSecure identifies the virus Gen:Heur:Loregun.1 in VirusUpdater.dll.


    I am able to update my Virus TI Polar, but I am unable to open up Cubase, as FSecure blocks the VirusUpdater.dll and initiates a clean-up of the mentioned virus.


    OS is Windows Vista 64 bit.

    That does not mean it actually found a known virus, even if FSecure automatically removes the file. Gen:Heur says that the heuristics created an alert, because the behaviour of the file is suspicious. The reason is that the updater contains code for checking for a new Virus TI software version on the Access server and downloading it. That is obviously similar to what many viruses do.
    This is a false detection, and it was a good solution to exclude the file from virus scanning.
