Question

pstill.exe in Arbortext installation flagged by antivirus

Hi,

In the last month, my McAfee VirsuScan software as quarantined the pstill.exe from both my ArborText 5.2 and 5.3 installations. It even quarantined the zips of the 5.2 & 5.3 software installation packages. It says something about detecting an "Artemis Trojan". I was just curious if other Adepter's virus software is flagging these files. Given that those files have been on my PC for months or years, I think it's a false detection by McAfee's Artemis Technology system. But, it's disconcerting that it is quarantining and would eventually delete files from legitimate software product.

Thanks,

Curtis

    Yes, concerning, and I guess this is one of the achilles heels of
    heuristic virus scanning...

    (This is assuming of course that those .exe files haven't been infected
    by something nasty while they've been sitting on your hard disk ;])
