Holdem Manager (from RVG Software) is a program used for online poker, used by many many people. It’s a safe program. The newest Avast version released on 10/14/2009 and on is detecting 7 Holdem Manager related files. Many Holdem Manager users with Avast have gotten these detections and have since been unable to use Holdem Manager due to Avast shutting the program down upon launching it. Several other AV programs such as AVG, Avira, Kaspersky have also detected these files. However AVG has since fixed their detections on this about two days ago.
I will be sending all seven of those files to you through the virus chest for you to take a look at (I will reference this thread here upon sending them). I will await your input, thanks.
I also run this program and reported it as well. It’s been 3 definition updates and still no fix. Is that within the normal time frame for a false positive? The majority of scanners on virustotal and jotti have now reported the file as malware as well. It’s not really a problem I guess, since HEM have updated their program.
I don’t really know much about this stuff, but is there a possibility that some other virus may have ‘hacked’ HEM and caused this, or is it for sure just the way that their code was written?
Yeah, I’ve been holding off on the beta 40 release because many people have had problems getting it to work. I was hoping the FP issue would be resolved by now. I’ll probably just take my chances with the new update now.
