CK modules showing trojans on Kapersky & Avira - CONFIRMED false positives 2010-05-07T09:23:34+00:00 EDIT3 It is now confirmed by Kapersky, Avira and Avast that alerts about the following are FALSE POSITIVES - CK_Host_BPM.sep - CK_Warp.sep - CK_polyphony_control.sep This means there is no trojan/virus and Kapersky/Avira/Avast is alerting in error. All 3 companies inform me that they will be removed from the list in future updates. Now that these 3 companies have all confirmed it is false positve reporting, it is probably safe to assume that any other AV program which alerts is also finding a false positive For clarification, these .sep files are modules that are used in Synthedit VST plugins. When you install and scan the .dll file in your host, it automatically extracts the needed modules into a folder with the same name as the .dll If you delete them, the plugin will automatically re-extract them again into the folder on next scan/run. Until Kapersky/Avira/Avast update their software, you can safely ignore the trojan alerts on these modules -------------------------------original post---------------------------- Looking for some help to get to the bottom of an issue that is being reported recently A number of users of Kapersky and Avira anti-virus programs are informing me that some CK modules are coming up as containing trojans. I have Eset NOD on one computer and Sophos on another, neither of which give any alert for trojans on CK modules So I'm thinking it is a false positive, but I'd like some second opinions If you have CK_Warp.sep on your hardrive, could you run the Kapersky online scan on it and report results here? http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/scanforvirus I get the following; CK_Warp.sep - infected by Trojan-PSW.Win32.QQPass.ssg Also if you have another anti-virus program installed, or know another online scanner, please report the results too. cheers de la Mancha https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=83219

I submitted a false report to Avast about Ck bpm plus the other day, while I haven't heard back yet, it's off the list.

All Ck's are good to go w/Avast currently.
