Help Support Topics Archive / Re: Virus reported in the 2007 snapshot torrent

« on: February 03, 2011, 10:23:19 »

A torrent can't be recreated once it's spread around.

I just meant someone could create a new torrent with those particular files removed or repaired.

Also, even if it's not a false positive, how on earth would execute a module file? A virus needs to be executed.

I've... got no idea. I'll just go ahead and add it to my exceptions then. Thanks for the help!

Help Support Topics Archive / Virus reported in the 2007 snapshot torrent

Avast! reports that there's a virus in two of the files from "modarchive_2007_official_snapshot_120000_modules.torrent".

"\modarchive_2007_official_snapshot_120000_modules\E\EL.zip > elementl.xm.zip > elementl.xm" is infected with Win95:CIH 1.x
"\modarchive_2007_official_snapshot_120000_modules\S\SH.zip > shloadertune.mod.zip > shloadertune.mod" is infected with DIR-II

I searched for the same files on the site, found shloadertune, and got the same virus warning when I tried to download it. I couldn't find elementl.xm though.

If it's a false positive, or you can't recreate the torrent, just let me know and I'll add them to my exceptions.
