Raidar 6.1 Virus??

[orb]

Hi all,

I've just fired up my computer this morning and got a virus detection flashed up from Avira telling me that 'Raidar 6.1.exe'

has now been put into quarantine. Apparently it's had a detection related 'TR/Samca.geygb' trojen/virus..  Any info on this please?

Many Thanks indeed.

Hi orb,

Its the first time that I have heard of the RAIDar being detected as virus. I checked and there were no reported issues of it. Lets wait if other users experience some issues.

Also, you could try checking with Avira support; the software might be flagging the RAIDar as a virus.

Same here......Avira just tagged it and sent to quarantine.....Same message as OP.

That's odd. I guess it's probably a false positive from Avira's anti-virus scan.

I agree it would be good if you could contact Avira so they could check things out from their end.

Ok.. Avira confirmed a false possitive.. And will amend their definitions file in next update.

Avira have today updated their definition files.. Raidar 6.1 is now clear & not detected as infected anymore.
