[SOLVED] setool2lite v1.11 Trojan horse

Hi,has anyone else experienced AVG reporting ''Trojan horse Generic_c.ZOC'' when attempting to open setool2lite v1.11

I tried to open the program this morning and got a virus warning so moved the file to the virus vault as it stated that it could not be healed,i then downloaded setool2lite v1.11 again and scanned it with AVG before extracting it only to be told that it contained the same virus.

I have tried to google it but all i found was a german site where a member had reported the same problem this afternoon,he was also using AVG.

If anyone else has been experiencing the same or knows of a fix i would be very grateful.

Thanks.

yeah you are right...I have also experienced this...Can smd explain why this is happening?

also same problem with me...

You must use a antivirus

Try Kaspersky:

Free Antivirus: Trial Versions

Hi djrulaz,i am using AVG and Spybot - AVG reports the Trojan horse Generic_c.ZOC virus found every time i download setool2lite v1.11 no matter which website i download it from but spybot never detects it at all.

I can however download setool2lite v1.10 and no virus is found but if i try to download the upgrade from v1.10 to v1.11 the virus immediately appears again.

I have only started to experience this problem over the last couple of days and i am wondering if perhaps something in one of the AVG updates is mistaking something in the setool2lite as a virus as the software is used for bypassing the security when flashing/unlocking phones.

If anyone can suggest a solution for this issue apart from disabling AVG i would be very grateful.

Thanks.

i got the same problem i cant click ignore the file as it still says no
the only way is to uninstall it then use it . my avg was downloaded august
so when i put the avg on i can use the file but when the avg gets updated
i cant use setool

Use Kaspersky, AVG and Spyboot doesn´t work nice, look:

Top Windows Antivirus

Antivirus Software Reviews, Best Antivirus Software Program

The Best Antivirus in 2008 - Not Windows Live Onecare 2.0! - Softpedia

Read...

I use Nod 32 and I don`t have any problems.

Have a nice day

Yes @jasmin no problems with NOD32, but there is 1 little problem with NOD-few days ago I download Setool2lite 1.11 and NOD "found" virus and terminate download, I disable NOD-download Setool and now downloaded Setool (when is started for using) doesn't anymore recognized like virus.

Hi seamonkey,AVG also terminates the setool2lite 1.11 as soon as it finds the virus but i have not attempted to disable AVG before downloading setool perhaps i should try and see if it will work the same as it has for you with NOD32

I think the problem is that some antivirus softwares are mistaking one of the patches in the setool files as a virus.

Many AV softwares identify the qamaker.exe as malware(newer jdflasher releases and SETool2 Lite v1.11 contains it). I think the reason is that it is a "hack tool"(breaks the CID52 protection).

Hi simox,yes i think you are right.

I think the problem has just started to occur because of a new AVG update that is enabling the software to detect the qamaker.exe as a virus,i was able to use setool2lite v1.11 which contained qamaker.exe fine until a couple of days ago.

Is there a way around this without disabling or substituting AVG with another AV software?

Add the qamaker.exe to exclusion it. The AVG should have some sort of "trusted applications" (exclusion) list...

Thanks for that simox,i just have to check out AVG now to see how i do it.

don't panic my frens, it was just mistaken. it's only the antivirus which read as a malware or somthing. if it detects again just ignore it.

i just did a full virus scan with avg8 and found that
setool v1.11 has put a trojan in my windows restore part
very strange

But Kaspersky no Identify the qmaker like a virus...

And I have the heuristic On!!!

Were do i get setool lite?????? Been searching all the web for it....

Remeber, is not a virus!!!

setool does not contain any viruses , you can use any antivirus but you must add it to the exclusion and trustible file list within the anti virus itself

Do you know if AVG free edition has an exclusion list facility?

I have tried to find one without any luck!

This is false alarm - just turn off antivirus for this

NOD32 gave a false alarm too... I'm starting to wonder why this happens to the_laser's tools only and not to jdflasher, xs++, kk, davinci

There is no virus.

Just disable antivirus and it should work.
