Re: Sysinternal Utilities

umapathy, Avir are not detecting microsofts BlueScreen app as a virus. They are detecting it as jokeware, which is exactly what it is. So you have no need for concern.

If it would make you feel better you can compare the hashes from the file in my addon to the one on microsofts servers, they of course match.

I would also suggest switching to a better antivirus like NOD32.

Re: Sysinternal Utilities

Xable, Thanks for the promptly response. Due to my wrost finance conditions I won't be in a position to switch to any commercial AntiVirus right now. Since I understood the reason behind the problem I can always skip that file. Avira is particularly light on system (I mean does not slow down the computer dramatically) that help me to run on my old computer.

Re: Sysinternal Utilities

umapathy, yes if Avir refuse to change their possition you can just safely ignor the warning. It's an oficial microsoft file and anyone can compare the MD5 checksum with the file on microsofts server.

If you could afford a commercial antivirus in the future NOD would definatly be OK on an old system. I used to run it on an Athlon XP setup and hardly noticed it. wink

Anyway thanks for bringing this to my attention and help prove it to be false.

Re: Sysinternal Utilities

yeah no problem i've been lazy with this lately, didn't think there was much interest. Looks like it's out of date since november!

btw the blog is the best way to look for updates, the suite isn't updated as much as the individual packages wink
