SOPHOS detectes XSTools as spyware

#1 Post by krone »

I can't install these files, NetRedirect.dll and XSTools.dll, SOPHOS consider them as spyware.

Thanks for letting us know.
You're not going to try and tell me you think you can diddle your way out of a criminal charge with an adding machine!

its a false positive, free AV's tend to have those a lot.
Tell it to ignore the files, or if you're paranoid look through the code and compile it yourself

I know it's false positive. I do not doubt Openkore's integrity I have used the program (SVN) from 2005 until I stopped playing/botting in late 2006. It just that I can not set the AV to ignore the two files as I am not the administrator of the PC. I'm a returning player and want to use OK/SVN as I used to before. Btw, I am using the program on a separate PC fyi.

nothing we can do about that... get whoever is the admin to install a proper AV

Doesn't make it any more effective. Well, obviously.
