Vipre AVS sees dvd shrink 3.2.exe as adware??

[HDT]

Hi all,
Now I've been using this little prog for donkey's years without issue, but suddenly Vipre avs is trying to tell me that the installed exe is adware [??]
I've tried downloading another copy of the installer from here [doom9], but no different.
This has to be a mistaken/bad detection by Vipre?

Below is the summary from Vipre

Risk name: DVD Shrink 3.2.exe
Source: Active Protection
Quar date: 02/07/2009 04:36:32 PM
Risk level: Elevated
Risk category: Adware (General)

Advice: This is an elevated risk and should be removed or quarantined as it may compromise your privacy and security, make unwanted changes to your computer's settings, and negatively impact your computer's performance and stability.

Yes this is a mistake. Report it to your antivirus provider so that they can get it fixed. If you downloaded the .exe file from a trusted source (and it looks like you did) then you are fine. Just ignore it.

In the meantime, see if you can white list DVD Shrink in your anti virus prog.

Hi,
I always wondered why THEY just didn't blacklist ALL software, which can be used SOMEHOW, to make ANY kind of copy, of ANY kind of media, where SOMEBODY else but the legal owner, MIGHT have a copyright of ANY kind on.

Maybe I am just to paranoid...

P.S.
Sy...tic blacklists the WPA circumvention.

Something funny is going on. Just now I was looking at this thread
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144838
there is a link to another thread in the first line(
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=139522
)
Firefox refused to load the page saying invalid security certificate-had to create an exception to the page for it to load.
Only time it has happened

@mgh

Notice the "s" after http. It is saying it is a secured page and there is no security certificate. Ignore the warning or just browse to the page without the "s".

thanks for pointing that out
