optrailmaps.exe
« on: February 16, 2005, 08:46:26 AM »
Opened one of my many Outpost folders and avast came up with this:

Win32: Trojan-gen. {VC}
optrailmaps.exe

Is this because it uses back door somthing or other to get into the outpost2.exe process ??

Im not to sure what the exe did any way.

don't know - i had the same warning, i suppose i thought someone made this as a backdoor thing, and never bothered to join our OPU community anymore.. lol  so i removed it without debugging it or anything.   It didn't work anyway.. the trails!

It uses WriteProcessMemory() to get into the EXE.

Which is also used to inject trojans at times into running processes.

Yea, the person who made it hasn't been here for quite a while, and it's not really that useful (all it does is show the route a vehicle will take to its destination).

Well, it'd sure be news to me if that file was a trojan.

I used it when WON was still up.  It was usefull in some multi games (and yes, I told everyone I was using it while in game) ad it helped me with waypoint setting...does anyone else even use the waypoints?

I think Avast! thinks everything is a virus. I know it kept detecting my roms as trojans. lol

It's wierd though, PC-CILLIN, McAffe, and Norton wouldn't detect them as viruses. Only avast! did. I think it's something in it's detection libraries.

The roms should be fine, if they're from a different platform. (They couldn't link to DLLs on your PC nor cause any harm since they aren't executable on an x86 based machine)

Avast! probably uses a heuristic system to find what it thinks is damaging code or a virus (that's how polymorphic viruses are detected). However code in some of the files triggers a sort of false alarm. (It's heuristic is probably faulty)
