Backdoor trojan ! Win32 RShotiiK in CS Fire Monitor
Hi I installed the CS Fire Monitor the other day and today have done a spyware scan with A-squared Free and it is telling me tha it has found a Backdoor trojan ! Win32 RShotiiK I have not quarantined the file yet as I think it must be a false positive.
Can you confirm it is a false positive. The program was downloaded from the site supplied in PCAnswers 200.
Regards
John.

CS Fire Monitor download site
Hi John - thanks for getting in touch. We are very surpriised to here of a Trojan being downloaded as that shortened URL we supplied takes you to Softpedia which is a highly trusted download site for hundreds of popular programs. It could well be a false positive so do check with the database of your anti-virus product by going to their website. An alternative URL is direct from the creator of CS Fire Monitor at http://www.pcwintech.com/cs-fire-monitor.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply
Thanks for the reply Christian I think it is a false positive I change my AV from AVG to Comodo Internet Security and performed a scan and found nothing with Comodo
I will leave it as it is safe in the knowlage it was most probably a false positive.
Thanks
John.

Found your great site
Hi,
I came across your site here and I must say I'm impressed with the content and information you provide.
I found pcanswers.com through a link from techradar.uk which was sent to me from google because of an alert I had on Microsoft Outlook. I sell an Outlook plug-in that turns Outlook into a Project Management Center and I was disappointed that I missed the ability to be included in your 10 Essential Outlook Productivity boosters, but maybe next time.
Thanks for putting together a great site, keep up the hard work.
