omg help freddy want to hack us.

i dunno why norton see it as virus.

I've been widely flamed for using norton.

I know SCAR isn't a virus, just that I've never seen fixscar.exe before.

False positive.. What you should do is kill norton with fire and then get a real antivirus to remove it (unless theyve made norton easier to get rid of nowadays, although I'm pretty sure it still leaves a hundred different kinds of crap behind even after uninstalling).

its also in my scar folder.

fixscar.exe download dll files needed by SCAR, tbh, I'm sick of these false positives, I've been sending mails to av developing companies, hopefully they're finally get off of their asses and do something about it.

Ok, thanks for clearing up. Just got alerted because I've never seen that file there before :).

Stop using a packer.

Packer ?

From: Dr D. Dervish
Packer ?

It's something that compresses a program. They also give some protection against casual cracking, amongst other things.[/oversimplifiedexplanation]

They're also commonly used in viruses, so most virus scanners will pick up packed programs as potential threats.

They're most commonly used in loads of programs…

So the solution is simple; don't use one. Will also fix the issue with SCAR itself being a virus.

Being identified as a virus you mean?

Stop being ignorant, I am pretty sure you have used SCAR before it isn't a virus, I know my anti-virus doesn't detect it (Kaspersky Internet Security) they are just false reportings by the anti virus. SCAR isn't the only program that gets scanned and then finds a file that gets picked up as a virus.

Dervish, does norton have the "trusted" thing on it where you can add the file then it adds the program to not be picked up as a virus etc…

Yes it does, just wondering if I should keep it or not.

My anti-virus doesn't pick it up. Its called ubuntu

My av picks it up, I use Sophos.

Yes, that's what I meant. :)

It's just a typo dude… I was in a hurry… Chill down.

EDIT: Lol yeah, I'm pretty sure I've used SCAR before… What makes you think I have though?? Perhaps the three years my essence miner has run???

Yeah, but SCAR doesn't run on it either. :p (Well not natively.)

What! wizzup? opend scar?!! I thought you were using notepad! :p

I haven't used it in a long time, though. And nowadays I use vim. :p

On topic now. :)

[Off TOPIC]Speaking of your ess miner, is it ever coming back?

Yes.

Yes, McAfee also identifies it as a virus, which is very annoying because I can't get SCAR onto my computer… So I've tried turning off the virus protecting, downloading it, and turning it back on which then it still finds it -.- And I know McAfee gets ripped on all the time but I'm not getting rid of it :/

Lol, idiot, that's an operating system not an anti-virus

erm, Kaspersky has never identified it, but that's cause they have smart developers.

[offtopic] if you ran ubuntu, you wouldn't have to have an AV to begin with
edit[offtopic] Wizzup, you should add offtopic tags that make it greyed out or something.

Anti-virus software is somthing that protects a computer against viruses. Ubuntu doesn't get viruses unless your epic retarted

Make a new thread for that.

Issue has been solved, this can be closed now I believe.

Basically, if SCAR runs without errors of missing dlls, you don't need fixscar.exe, you can just delete it

You're right…this has been said before…and even sticky-ed….

SCAR/SRL/SCSS/SMART are NOT viruses!
