If it’s the Nokia app that’s crashing, that should be a question for Nokia, shouldn’t it?
Anyway, it’s hard to say with this info… what exactly does “Avast is blocking” mean? Do you see any virus detection popup?
What if you stop only a particular resident shield, instead of disabling the whole protection - is there one shield that helps? I’d try the Script Blocker, the File System Shield, …
Just a wild guess, but please try to search the installation folder of Nokia Ovi for a file called SQLite.dll (though I don’t know if Ovi stores all its files in one folder) - is there such a file there?
Don’t ask me if I think it was a Virus or False Positive… Coz wouldn’t have clue :
But I Don’t Know :-\ Something just made me think I should mention what I’ve seen.
In Fact!
I’m sure I’ve seen something like that SQ thing somewhere on one of my computers - Don’t Own a Nokia Phone :o
So I hope to god that it was an FP they think is malware on Wilders
The Nokia Ovi Suite is a bit of a monster. I recently repaired a PC for a Nokia salesman who use his phone as a modem and with PC hooked in as the one hardware profile, as recommended by Nokia. What an ordeal. With this kind of rig you want to use ccleaner and a good defrag regularly and dont allow any garbage to amass on your system. Also you will find PC Suite taking up default values all through your registry making uninstall of the Suite a mammoth task. I have performed this lengthy uninstall a few times for users who have Nokia phones and what I do is set them up so that they can use their phone as an add-on rather than an integrated part of their operating system. They lose a few functions and features but nothing that they would normally use anyway. They can hook their phone to the computer neat, without the Suite, and transfer data and picture back and forth okay like that. I dont like to put down Nokia at all because very good phones, but I find that a lot of these proprietary software that people use as part of their business are like this, always crashing, and they always complaining. I just try to avoid them.
