I’m pretty sure I have a virus right now because I ran one of these files trying to find a crack for tunebite so i can convert my movie to mp4.
They are both 118kb so they are both the same file.

Hope the avast update comes up quick and gets rid of this off my computer

Are you surprised to get hit when you walk across a 4 lane highway, the same is true of cracks and keygens.

Looking for cracks and keygens is a very high risk activity, aside from any legal/moral issue.

The only way they can detect is by analysis and they need samples to do that.
Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a link to this topic might help and false positive/undetected malware in the subject.

Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn’t already in the chest) where it can do no harm and send it from there. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so you will need to take further action and can remove/rename that.

Send it from the User Files section of the chest (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). It will be uploaded (not actually emailed) to avast when the next avast auto (or manual) update is done.

You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page.

downloading illegal products…tsk tsk tsk…

Most people deserve to get infected by trying to break international laws…

there is a lesson in this…DO NOT PIRATE!!!

still, we will help.

Do what DavidR did, with addition to downloading malware bytes anti malware. Update, scan, post log.

Hi John,

Thanks for your concern about Piracy.

But in here for avast forum, we should be able to support each people have a trouble with their system and back again to them personally.

Everyone have Freewill to decide and what’s their sow and will reap too in the future.

Yes, but to the same ends people have to exercised a degree of common sense and stay away from high risk activities or expect the consequences.

As my analogy about crossing a 4 lane highway, you don’t just walk across but find a safe crossing point ‘subway, bridge, etc.’

However, I don’t agree that they deserve what they get everyone deserves help, but there comes a time if they don’t exercise safe hex, that they are beyond help. It usually takes a serious infection resulting in a reformat and all the associated hassle before many people take security seriously.

If you really need file converting, you can see cnet.com as I haven’t had a problem with them (there are rumors of infections however) They offer free programs that are not illegal to download and keep.

Well there are rumors of infection almost every download site, but i agree cnet is pretty clean, heck i had an infection in the summer from just visiting major geeks. So it can be just the luck of the draw no matter how careful you are or how safe a website’s reputation and ranking is ;).

DON’T PIRATE! That said, I use koyotesoft dot com Free video converter - no viruses in it and works fine.

could a mod edit the OP’s post to either remove the freaking links or at least make them unclickable ??? still hard to believe how someone can post, mention he was looking for a crack, and ask for help :smiley:

edit: oh they were edited already
