vbf Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Maybe someone loves viruses on his own computer. After version 1.43 there are always problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This is a 'false positive' caused by the anti-virus assuming that the bundled apps is a trojan (it isn't). You have been told this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbf Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Really? All antiviruses? Add in the description: all antiviruses lie, that Bitcomet gifts the virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Some detect the add-ons as a trojan, some don't. It's still a 'false positive'. How many times over how many years do you need to be told the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3alkikas® Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I´ve been using bitcomet almost a decade. But now i´m thinking twice, is this a campaign against bitcomet ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 For what I hope is the last time - it's a false positive. It comes from the bundled apps (which are optional - you don't have to install those). Because the installer bundles them, some A/V apps detect a 'trojan'. Install it, run the a/v scan on the install files and you won't find a thing. THERE IS NO TROJAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Your deceptive screenshot doesn't snow that the most respected anti viruses show that bitcomet is clean. The false positive is caused by poorly coded "install core", a legitimate tool used by developers to bundle other apps with theirs, but it's only malicious if not used properly, but it is used properly with BitComet. Some of the lazy anti virus companies seem to flag any app that uses it instead of checking to see if the proper protocols are followed, like not bundling malware, and giving the user the ability to decline to install the bundled software. Any member who continues on with this nonsense and isn't sincerely asking a question will have their account restricted or removed. ps. Even if there was a threat (which there isn't), it couldn't be both a virus and a trojan, they are two very different threats and none of the false test results claim there is any virus.

SFD96 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I have Bit Comet 1.47 installed , wich is trying to update to version 1.48 wich doesn't exist ? When I manually check for updates , it says I'm using the latest version 1.47 Tried to install 1.48 and got the same warning about FusionCore files .This is not a virus but is adware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I've noticed that '1.48' install but I think that's more down to a bug than anything else, however, if you check on almost any installation program you will get the same message "TURN OFF ANY RUNNING SOFTWARE". Why people think that means 'any except....' I don't know: a lot of people were having problems upgrading Windows 10 for a very simple reason - THEY LEFT THE ANTI-VIRUS RUNNING 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
