InterVideo WinDVD marked as malware?

Viruses and worms
1

Hi there,

since the vps-update 091011-0, 11.10.2009 InterVideo WinDVD 5 is marked as malware:

avast! [DE000...]: Datei "C:\Programme\InterVideo\WinDVD\WinDVD.exe" ist infiziert mit "Win32:Malware-gen" Virus.

The most weird thing about it is, that only some clients mark WinDVD.exe as malware.
On others nothing happens when opening WinDVD O.o

Thx 4 help and best regards, S-Kraft

//edit: I checked the infected file on www.virustotal.com:

My version 5.0.11.212 is not detected.

Look in C:\Program Files\InterVideo\WinDVD at WinDVD 5’s Properties.

same probelm as s-kraft, avast detects as malware the program interwideo/windvd.exe, I did not do any action, I am sure is a FP.

The version of the “infected” WinDVD.exe is 5.0.11.637.

As a workaround i have added the location of the file to global exclusions until the bug is fixed.

My WinDVD version detected as malware is 5.0.11.635

Windows 7 plays DVDs in Windows Media Player 11 so I don’t use WinDVD anymore.

Its available for Vista and XP as well:

Hi

This could be because of this: http://www.prevx.com/filenames/X2468619198377826078-X1/WINDVD.EXE.html
It should have this MD5 Hash: WinDVD.exe; MD5 Hash 860a3e4dbdec62ce5c4d1616ee69fc09
or
dcce270b494f6abf78f1fd09ec86df61
You can get a good MD5 Hash verification utility for Windows from here: http://www.digital-detective.co.uk/freetools/md5.asp

Polunus -

What is “it”? Any WinDVD.exe file? Mine does not have your checksums. Where did you get yours?

Your link for hash verification appears bad.

YoKenny: thx 4 your help, but there are about 25 computers on our network that are marked as malware^^ i´m not going to uninstall WinDVD 25 times and install WMP11 instead :wink:

As it is a bug, it should be fixed and all problems will be gone ;D

Best regards, S-Kraft

//edit: I guess the bug is fixed :slight_smile:
