Windowblinds7 (XP) + Nod32 = Wblind.dll infected

November 19, 2009 5:36:53 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

 

Well I have just updated my windowblinds last night .. and when I started my system this evening ... NOD32 all of the sudden blipped that Wblind.dll is infected with Win32/Genetik trojan tried to uninstall/re-download+reinstall routine but the same results

11/19/2009 3:20:33 AM    Startup scanner    file    C:\PROGRA~1\Stardock\OBJECT~1\WINDOW~1\wblind.dll    probably a variant of Win32/Genetik

 

I wonder if someone else can explain or having the same results

 

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

Basically NOD32 has incorrectly guessed that wblind.dll is some sort of bad file.

This is known as a false positive.

We will be contacting NOD to ask them to correct their app.

For now you should be ok to ignore this error, though you will need to restore wblind.dll and tell NOD to ignore this file.

Chances are the issue wasn't you updating, but NOD32 having some sort of file update.

If you're in the US I say fight it, wblind.dll is innocent till proven guilty.

Quoting ChuckCS,

If only AV apps worked like that!

They seem to assume guilt and inform the user the file IS bad (not might be, but IS).

I got the same nod32 warning on both my home and work computers, and ended up uninstalling and reinstalling on both computers after I mistakenly had nod32 "fix and remove" the "Genetik Trojan variant."  What a pain in the butt, ESET!!

Windowblinds 7 is now working beautifully on both computers.

This has now been addressed.  Make sure you have virus definitions that are version 4621 or higher.  You may need to verify WindowBlinds through Impulse, or uninstall/reinstall, but after that, you should be good to go.

We worked with Eset today to resolve the false positive, and this was the database version that should address it.  Update to this or later.
