Trojan detected in DTL

[cybermcm]

McAfee Virusscan Enterprise detects a false positive with dtlite.exe.

I escalated the case to McAfee and awaiting answer soon (hopefully a new dat file).

Trojan detected in DTL

I downloaded DTL off this site, and when I ran the installation my anti-virus software (mcafee on-access) came up saying that

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe"

is a

"Artemis!435F79D364B7"

and deletes it. So I have the files, just not the executable. Any ideas what's wrong?

McAfee is detecting a false positive, that's all.
Therefore set it to ignore install folder of DT and wait for an update of McAfee.

[Jizmo]

Ugh... I've set like 5 different exceptions that should all encompass the .exe file, but it still deletes it every time.

I'm using kaspersky 9 and nothing found during installation DT Lite, so it's your antvirisu problem I think

Daemon Tools Lite 4.35 Win7 McAfee

Hi, today I downloaded the latest version of daemon tools lite from this page. During the install McAfee Internet Security detected the daemon tools exe-file as "New Poly Win32"-virus and kept it under arrest, so that the installation failed.

I sent the file to McAfee, so that they can fix the detection-file. Has anyone else got this problem.

you ar't firs who have same problem, I can say for sure there is't virus. it's your antivirus problem

McAfee confirmed the false positive.
DAT file version 5788 doesn't detect the threat anymore, all fine now...

[cybermcm]

If you rename the dtlite.exe to daemon.exe (to ensure compatibility with yasu), daemon.exe is still recognized as trojan.

This is solved with DAT 5789.

DTLITE 4.35 = VIRUS

I've just downloaded the new version for Windows Seven and McAfee detects DTLite.exe as a virus (New Poly Win32)

See attachement

@Arkha
Which virus databases do you have installed?

I scanned it with several AVs and McAfee didn't complain:
Virustotal. MD5: 415cacb0ced393bd6949577397fab023 (Suspicious) - DNAScan Win32.NewPoly Packer.Win32.UnkPacker.a
