Hacking NDSTokyoTrim dangerous?

[bunnybreaker]

Hey,
I was downloading the new version of NDSTokyoTrim and my virus software (Avast) said it had a Trojan in it before it had finished downloading (maybe just AS it finished, I dunno). Can anyone confirm whether or not it is safe to use or not.

I'm about to go to bed and couldn't find any e-mail address on the official site, so I thought a post here would spread the word (that is, if the "word" indeed needs to be spread.

Thanks and stuff.

I would guess it's a false positive. I doubt the dude would put a virus in his file.

I pretty much guarantee it's a false positive. More people would have noticed and there's nothing posted in the official thread here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=551...&start=1470

Plus Brian ain't really that type of guy, he takes too much pride in his work!

์No problem for me, using Nod32

Second that shit.

We don't get no stupid false detections Hi-Five!

ok, cool. I didn't think it was on purpose, if there was a problem. Thanks guys.

Yes it is a false positive like every time you've got a compressed file ... I trust Brian also.

I will update my post in a few minuts with a complete scan but i bet :

- it was done previously by a smart guy

- it is related to UPX compression

Basically it is a false positive related to Heuristic: Suspicious File With Covert Attributes

False positives do occur with some individually coded programs, I think the CycloEvo cheat program also showed up some false positives on some virus scanning programs, nothing to be too worried about.

It's probably related to something left by UPX (the compression he used)

No worries. The file is clean

Anyone got a mirror of version 2.01 as I over wrote it with 2.10 and now can't use it?

Edit: The avast problem is fixed, so if anyone with the necessary authoritaaah reads this, feel free to delete this topic.

hi, thanks for your support guys

That was indeed a false possitive, already fixed in avast after I sent them a sample.
