Heads up: Trend thinks ie7 is a trojan
|
From: Gary Karasik on 4 Mar 2007 19:14 Hi, As of 3:00 today, Trend CSM 3.5 is identying the IE7 executable as a trojan (Troj_gen). I ran into this while trying to do some IE6-IE7 updates. While "IE7 *IS* a trojan" jokes are always appropriate, it will be difficult to do these upgrades until Trend fixes this. -- GaryK
From: Paul Shapiro on 4 Mar 2007 19:42 Interesting. I noticed last Friday that Trend CSM 3.5 deleted devcon.exe which is a Microsoft command-line utility for performing some device manager functions.

Thanks for the citation, but no, it's removing the executable from the desktop if it's saved there and won't let IE7 install via Windows Update either--deletes the executable as soon as the download's compete. -- GaryK "Les Connor [SBS MVP]" <les.connor(a)DEL.cfive.ca> wrote in message news:BBFC0AF9-8B34-41DF-ACB3-DB0438A70E2F(a)microsoft.com... > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158/en-us > > Note the references to not scan the Windows Update or Automatic Update > related files and stores. > > Not sure if that will help in your case, but I have these exclusions and > don't see your issue. > > -- > Les Connor [SBS MVP] > > > "Gary Karasik" <gkarasik(a)fea.net> wrote in message > news:u8Le9srXHHA.3984(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Hi, >> >> As of 3:00 today, Trend CSM 3.5 is identying the IE7 executable as a >> trojan (Troj_gen).
