Is there really a Trojan Horse inside the "Vista Codec Pack"?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Greetings...

 

I just installed Iobit Security 360 Beta 1.1 , and I have to say the program is looking pretty good! I can't wait until the Final version is released...:-):-)

 

Anyway, I just scanned my entire system with IS360, (A "Full" scan with the strictest settings enabled, and the most recent definitions) and all that was found on my system was a few "Tracking Cookies" which I removed. There was one really bad thing found however, ...

 

A "Trojan Horse" in The "Vista Codec Pack" which I downloaded from Majorgeeks.com (which is a very trusted site and very thorough and "no-nonsense" when it comes to scanning the files they put up on their site, -

in an effort to stamp out spyware...)

 

So I am really hoping this is a false positive! ...But then again, anything is possible...

 

The "VistaUser.exe" file appears in/is part of, the "VistaCodecPack" which helps me to play almost any media file on my PC.

(I am using Windows XP professional with service pack 3)

 

I would be very grateful to receive an E-mail from anyone who knows if this is really A Trojan Horse or a False Positive.

-Thanks in advance,
