The Virus is in the installsimple 1.80 - setup.exe and in all of the created setup.exe files!!! ...see screenshot! The virus scanner is: http://www.avira.com You can find the last free version here: http://www.computerbild.de/download/Avira-AntiVir-Personal-6666.html?dl=1 The Name of the Virus is: TR/Dropper.Gen Details, see here: http://www.avira.com/de/threats/section/search/index.html?q=TR%2FDropper.Gen&w=1&image2.x=7&image2.y=5 Please REMOVE THE VIRUS in Installsimple!! Thanks for Support. Best Regards! Vladislav Biryukov Site Admin Joined: 16 Jan 2010 Posts: 7 Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 11:19 pm Hi! This is not the case - InstallSimple haven't any viruses or trojans. Virus Alert may be for one reason: The setup module of InstallSimple 1.0-1.80 packed with UPX: http://upx.sourceforge.net/ The UPX program is also used by virus makers to make the viruses smaller. It is in no way a bad thing using the UPX Packer. UPX is an excellent files compressor, but probably, we will stop using UPX compression in the next versions.

It is fine there are no active viruses in installsimple! (but my user phone me: there is a virus in your custom-setup.exe!) ...the problem of upx is: Manche Antivirenprogramme behandeln laufzeitkomprimierte Programmdateien als Viren. >> Some antivirus programs identify tackle running time compressed program files for viruses. ...see here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPX I think: ...it is better to use no UPX Best Regards!

Please download the InstallSimple 1.80 again from our site: www.InstallSimple.com Check your files by online antivirus scanner - www.virustotal.com Rusults: 40 antiviruses says - "No Viruses" and only Avira AntiVir found trojan: TR/Dropper.Gen We are sure that is a bug in Avira AntiVir scanner. And we will inform the Avira developers about it. Thank you for interest to InstallSimple! Best Regards, InstallSimple developers team Harry Kloppert Joined: 01 Jul 2010 Posts: 2 Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2010 1:29 pm It happened again! Now 12 out of 40 virus-scanners at VIRUSTOTAL mark the "installsimple.exe" as being infected. And the "setup.exe".s I've produced as well. You have to do something about this to keep this excellent program alive. Pls give us an interim statement. Thanks.
