I hate to complain on my first post, but it looks like I have a similar problem with virus checker CA-eTrust considering run_w.exe and exe files built by it to have Win32/RJump.A!Worm infection. This started happening Nov 9, 2006. I am using the py2exe built exe in a distributed install package, so I am concerned about propagating something that may be a real problem. J Fritz |

I've sent an email to CA's virus center. I'll let you know what I hear = back. I assume you saw the notes about this in other anti-virus products = in August. They all fixed it very quickly - I think that's probably a = testament to the number of complaining BitTorrent and SpamBayes users. If you're not sure you're clean then I'd recommend testing the files = under another product. I know that AVG and Avast's free scanners both = properly identify run_w.exe as clean. I also tried CA's web based = scanner and it reported them clean. That could mean the problem is = already fixed, or the web version might be out of date or less thorough. Please let us know if the problem is corrected. When this cropped in = August, py2exe users reported that updated signatures fixed the problem = before I heard back from the companies. Jimmy |

Here is the relevant part of their reply from earlier today: """ Detection of 'Win32/RJump.A!Worm' is a confirmed False Alarm detection = of Reviewer mode and it will be removed in today's signature release = 23.73.54. """ They also mentioned that "Secure mode, the recommended scanning method" = should be already be working properly. I've never used CA's anti-virus products, but they were certainly more = responsive than the other firms I've dealt with on this issue. Jimmy |
