Virus Alert

Backdoor

I have just re-installed Window Blinds on my PC and my AV has just kicked up this:

Backdoor.Win32.DarksRat.R@18515857 This tried to run from c:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\Activate.exe

I quarantined it and WindowBlinds seemed to install and activate ok. Has anyone else experienced this?

More than likely, a false positive. You should post what A/V your running so someone can let them know about it.

Carsguy1 is absolutely correct! Very unlikely to be a virus IF you downloaded from Stardock. If not....

Files can become corrupted, though from a host of reasons. Also, scan the disk and make sure it's clean.

Buy a router and get protected... there has been a lot of piggy back virus attacks here lately in the WAN network.

Which AV app do you have?

False positives are rather too common for my liking in certain AV apps.
