I noticed that its a webpage you took a screenshot of. its not even online...thats QUITE easy to fake.

not only that. But simply because its a third party dll and ocx some virus scanners will pick it up as a virus.

Ok... so what damage has the "virus" done to your computer? Virus scanners detect tons of things that aren't really viruses.

So how can it not be easily faked. I dont think that your ISP's antivirus is better than all of those listed up there who specialize in anti virus software. Those antivirus companies found nothing.

Dont know what you are trying to pull fatal, but its not working.

Nope we dont hate you and are definately not picking on you. Were 100% sure that there is no virus on the codex checks. Mumei is a professional programmer and has a lot of things to do that are more important than breaking random peoples' computer. Not only that, but if all those more trusted anti virus firms responded with no virus, im having a hard time believing your ISP's antivirus. I have a hard time believing that they even found a new virus when all of the other firms didnt.

No one is flaming you  >_< The admins and others have come to multiple conclusions about it, and you keep insisting that it is a virus because YOUR anti-virus says that it is, when many others have said that it isn't.

Hi there - I have only just noticed this topic (don't go into General Chat very often LOL) otherwise I would have posted an answer a long time ago. 

I tested my objects with a number of Anti-Virus packages to make sure that it didn't give any false positives, however I had never heard of this one
I suspect that NOD32 objected to the packing method I use (I have packed the files to prevent people from trying to hack into them, and to make them smaller for distro, that's all)

I can confirm that there is no Virii contained within any of my software.  I thank everyone for defending me, if you are paranoid about the codex check

you can set-up a firewall block to prevent it accessing any website other than this one

You can even monitor it with an IP sniffer if you wish to see what information I send to this site (which is only the required info to logon to Codex and validate the program in question - after that I close down)

You can even check when my program is running to verify that it closes down after successful validation has taken place.

If you look at the description of CRYPT.WIN32 it does mention that false positives are possible with this one.

You are more than welcome to believe my program contains a virus - and if you do, I would recommend you don't run it.  You are essentially taking my word for it that it doesn't contain anything malicious as I will not be releasing the source-code for anyone to verify in the near future (Security Reasons).
