I've recently heard about this utility to help determine profitable trade routes and decided to give it a try. When I downloaded it I got a ws.generator threat and it was immediately quarantined. I restored it believing this was just a heuristics glitch, but when I went to open the .exe I got a high risk warning and it said the file name was really "ihelp.exe" and that it contained the threat "Trojan.Gen.8!cloud" where it was auto blocked. Which begs the question, did I accidentally download a virus or is there something else going on?
Where did you download the file from?
That is the legitimate download. It's possible your antivirus picked up a false positive because the file is uncommon. My AV often mistakenly identifies obscure little programs like that as threats not because it has found actual malicious code, but simply because it is not "rated" or "recognised" and then quarantines it.
Probably a false positive because the program it access another memory process..
Anyways it's as safe as it can be and you've downloaded from the official site, but you need the 3.0 version for our mod
It seems the SourceForge version is newer so I'm going with that one. Besides I doubt SF allows viruses to be hosted on their site. Thanks.
