JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: GridMove Identified by Symantec AntiVirus as Backdoor Trojan

jgpaiva:

Thanks for the reply!

I'm more disappointed in the fact that Symantec blew  GridMove away (GridMove is one of my favorite little apps! ), without giving me a chance to save it!

Hmmm... since I rarely reboot, and since GridMove is still in memory (Hah! Symantec didn't remove it from memory!), maybe I'll try holding off reinstalling it until you get the new version of GridMove posted (I can probably go a week or two without rebooting unless Symantec (or usually it's Microsoft with an update) makes me).

Can't wait for the new version - thanks and keep up the awesome work!

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / GridMove Identified by Symantec AntiVirus as Backdoor Trojan

« on: July 11, 2008, 03:51 PM »

Today (July 11, 2008), Symantec AntiVirus identified GridMove as a Backdoor.Trojan with the 7/9/2008 rev. 3 definition file and deleted GridMove.exe from the Program Files folder and also the application link from Startup.

I imagine I can just re-install GridMove and it should be okay, but I'm pretty sure this is a false positive by Symantec AntiVirus since the previous definition file did not detect an infection, no other programs are infected, and GridMove launches on startup every time. Has anyone else had the same problem? I'm running Windows XP x64 if that makes any difference.

Here's a picture of what Symantec AntiVirus did:



Thanks for any information you can provide.
