A virus in the new live update!

 

Hallo. I have a Demo Account  with Build 868.  When the new LiveUpdate (with Build 871) is about to start, I get a message fom the antivirus program (Avira), there is

 virus ("TR\Crypt.XPACK.Gen")  in "mql.dll", and the access to the file is refused! the LiveUpdate doesn't start!

 

The message (in German): "Der Zugriff auf die Datei 'C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\...\ mql.dll", die ein Virus oder unerwuenchtes Programm enthaelt, wurde

verweigert. Sie koennen die Datei entfernen oder weitere Informationen ueber das Problem abrufen."

 

(With Google you can find: "TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen spreads mostly via email but can also utilize auto run capabilities of removable media, or install via a drive-by infection when the user visits a compromised or malicious webpage. Once the infected binary file is installed to a machine it connects to a command and control server, and also monitors for internet activity and uploads stolen data.
While Avira will easily detect a new piece of malware by using this heuristic detection,it can have some issues while trying to remove this infection from your computer.")
