McAfee reports trojan for SmartSVN Windows bundles

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:28:00 GMT

Approximately a half year ago, AVG erroneously reported smartsvn.exe as a trojan. Now some McAfee virus scanners also find a non-existent trojan "Artemis!F5A198ED6E96".

If your McAfee scanner also reports the trojan, please verify the reported files using other virus scanners, for example, using the webservice virusscan.jotti.org. Then, if you are sure it is a false-positive, report it to McAfee as described in their documentation.

False trojan alarm for SmartSVN Windows bundles confirmed

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:24:23 GMT

Starting today, AVG anti-virus scanner reports a couple of SmartSVN's files on Windows as trojan (more details here). We have just received following email from the AVG Customer Services which confirms the false positives and gives instructions on how to deal with them:

Unfortunately, the current virus database version may detect the mentioned virus on some legitimate applications. We can confirm that it is a false alarm. We would like to inform you that the false positive will be removed in the next Definitions update. Please update your AVG and if a new Definitions update was downloaded, check whether the file is still detected.

If you need to restore deleted files from AVG Virus Vault you can do it this way:

Open AVG user interface.

Choose "Virus Vault" option from the "History" menu.

Locate the file that was incorrectly removed and select it (one click).

Click on the "Restore" button.
