Hi

Today the live update of MT5 terminal triggered a trojan detection in my McAfee VirusScan. However, the terminal restarted as expected (build 233). I normally get asked by McAfee to allow access for the new program, but I got the 'trojan found' alert instead.

Any other suggestions?

I use Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

Here are the McAfee Alert & detection log windows.

Cheers

i have two antivirus on my pc. One antivirus sayd that my other antivirus is a trojan. I only add for trusted applications :)

Thanks Rodrigo.

I can't find out how to set terminal.exe to be not detected. I normally can, but VirusScan seems to be really aggressive with this. I can remove it from the quarantine, but it just detects again. All I can do is make sure VirusScan is disabled whenever I run MT5.

Some more info:

I see in the MQL4 forum that there was a similar (the same) issue back in 2007 with metalang.exe (http://forum.mql4.com/6222). It turned out to be a false detection, which was solved by McAfee updating their dat files.

I have sent the information on this to McAfee and suggested that it is a false detection. It would probably help if someone from MetaQuotes contacted them as well (if MetaQuotes agree on my assessment of the problem).

Now I sit and wait :-(

I had the same problem with McAfee.  My other PC runs a different checker, and considering there's also no chorus of virus reports I assume the new terminal.exe is OK.  McAfee doesn't seem to have a feature to trust individual files, so I had to switch off the heuristic "detect unknown viruses" option.  I'll switch it on again when the next build comes out.

Thanks for the tip, Paul.

Thanks Alexander.  I have switched on the  "detect unknown viruses" option again in McAfee with build 235 and it's OK

alert AVG:

identify virus Win32/Temida

\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D0E820.....\liveupdate\terminal.exe

Well Alexander, then you better contact AVG too as I am getting the below pictures file as infected every time I turn on the program. This just started after the update today not before. Now it says the files are in the documents and settings/application data directory, and the files are terminal.exe. Why would .exe files be in this directory He???? Take care of this as I am not comfortable with this.

Also, I programmed and EA for MQL5, and never deleted the file, and the filed was deleted from the experts/example folder, I am 100% sure that no one deleted the file from this side. I am not giving anyboyd this power over my computer.

You know what, I cannot even do check strategies as strategy tester is not available, the EAs compiled for MQL5 do not enter any trades. I am done with beta testing. Wake me up when this Virus Alert is resolved. I am done with Beta testing until this virus thing is resolved and until I can use Strategy Tester to check EAs that I programmed.
