VIRUS in uManics XviD build

[dattrax]

Sorry if this is miss detected, but I've just tried to download Xvid from

http://umaniac.leffe.dnsalias.com/alpha/XviD.Alpha.19.06.2002.1420.exe

and sophos antivirus is reporting it is infected with the Momma-B virus.

Could people check this for me, as my IT department are going nuts.

VirusScan 6 is reporting nothing.

Everything's clean here. Somehow I find it hard to belive that the file gets infected in transit from my machine to the server, or the server to you. It's clean here.

Could it be because it's compressed with UPX ? It was known to be reported as a virus by older utils.

By the way, was the EXE reported to have a virus or the DLL in it ?

Just checked the computer that creates the instant build and it's clean. You can check if you have the Momma-b virus by seing if the computer has a hidden dir called \windows\inf\internet containing the file inf.exe. The virus must have come from a different source than XviD.

ps. I'm running Virusscan 6 here and it should able to detect that virus (according to there site).

I should add that I don't have yet any sample of Momma-b, and that I'm interested in...

I have downloaded the 19-June-14:20 build, and it's clean (just updated my Norton Antivirus today). Not sure about the older builds though.

AntiVir (fresh updated) doesn't find a virus either. Time to upgrade your antivirii-software to something "real" I'd say...

Sure, install an antivirus and check again!

lastest build no virus!

Thanks everyone.

I have no control over the virus scan software, as it is company standard (what ever that means). I did suspect it was a false identification, but I needed to check.

It's a bit of a pain, as when I downloaded it, the software automatically e-mails IT, and I get into crap about being infected.

Oh well.
