Well, AVG on my system detected a trojan also, and the program doesn't run, so there obviously is SOME issue.Friday, June 16 2006 @ 12:06 AM PDT

I also thought that AVG detects wrongly. However, whenever i start IE, it tries to run Bittorrent.exe.Why would bittorrent.exe try to run if it did not have a Trojan

Yep, bittorrent must've updated overnight, because AVG said that there were Trojan horses associated with the bittorrent.exe, maketorrent.exe, and chooselanguage (don't remember the name exactly) executable file. So what's the deal?!?Friday, June 16 2006 @ 06:55 AM PDT

The trojan that AVG is detecting on my bittorrent.exe/maketorrent.exe/choose_language.exe is PSW.Generic.2.AOK. I was unable to find a description of the virus.I uninstalled BT, and reinstalled v4.4.1 from the EXE I d/l from the offical site, still no luck. It looks like an update with AVG is causing the problem, not BT.

AVG Antiviruds is notorious for false positives due to sloppy programming and cornercutting by the programmers. Rather than bother with writing proper detection routines for all the virii that appear, they take a shortcut and detect the signature of the packing programs used by many virus coders. This saves them lots of work. Problem is that it causes anything packed with those packing/optimizing programs to register as a virus. They probably justify this by claiming that 95% of the coders who use these (noncommercially produced) tools are eithrer malware coders or software crackers, but the fact is that it is not true and is simply an excuse for lazy, sloppy programming. This shortcut is one reason that AVG releases an avarage of one library update for every 10 or 20 released by a proper antivirus company such as AVAST! This sloppiness also allows many virii to go undetected. DON'T USE AVG IF YOU VALUE YOUR COMPUTER!Sunday, October 29 2006 @ 04:50 PM PST

nope it doesn't, i guess you passed a trojan with Java via IE/Firefox or the files your downloaded contains them.I've scanned bittorrent with no more then 5 virus scanners and 3 spyware scanners and contains non of the files you mention and neither does my system.
