SAW goes "viral"?

What do you make of this?

Not sure. But, when teaching a C coding class last year, I let a student use his Windows laptop, but some security program would delete the programs that he made without asking. So, maybe there is a good/known program list and if not on the good list it is automatically suspicious/bad?

Dave,

This might be what is referred to as a "false positive".

This is what I get using ESET NOD32...

I was thinking, yeah, a false positive. It's never come up before, and that EXE has been on my hard drive a very long time. But I don't know much about this stuff. Is it possible for malware to infect an existing EXE, re-writing the EXE or attaching itself to the EXE so that it is compromised thereafter? :confused:

Dave,

Sure, it IS possible.

Dave,

How is this?: viral - Versatile, Intuitive Recording And Live performance software

In this case, SAW and SAC are truly "V.I.R.A.L."!

PS: I know, I know, I have not taken my ID-10-T pill yet.
