Hello, I have installed PDF reDirect from download.com: http://www.download.com/3001-6675_4-10539357.html Antivirus on-line scanner from www.mks.com.pl finds Worm.HLLM.BlackWorm in c:\Program Files\PDF reDirect\OSSMTP.dll I have scanned computer, because there were problems with slow work. I have read this topic: http://www.exp-systems.com/forum_exp/forum_posts.asp?TID=146&PN=1 but there is nothing about Worm.HLLM.BlackWorm Best regards, Kamil |

Hi Kamil, PDF reDirect is scanned for viruses (and worms) by myself before being released. The web site "download.com" also scans the files to make sure they are OK. I suspect that the scan from www.mks.com.pl is a "false positive". That means that they think there is a problem, even though there is not one. I would recommend you try a different virus scanner such as "Norton", NOD32 (my favorite), or Trend Micro and see if you continue having the report of a problem. Please let me know if you continue having difficulties, and I can see what I can do to work with MKS from Poland. However, my Polish is nearly non-existant, so I am not sure that I will be able to resolve the issue with them. Thanks for letting me know! ------------- Michel Korwin-Szymanowski EXP Systems LLC |

Hi Michel,
Thank you for your quick and "positive" answer. I scanned PDF reDirect files with - avast 4.7 for Windows SB 2003 - on-line scanner at www.kaspersky.pl (http://www.kaspersky.pl/virusscanner.html). - and ClamWin antivirus (http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamwin) - None of them did not find virus in PDF reDirect files including OSSMTP.DLL. I hope you are right that it was "false positive". Probably I send my previous post to quickly and it was false alarm - I am sorry - I trust MKS Scanner and on last Thursday I was almost sure that I install a trojan in my company. Best regards, Kamil |

I received a similar warning today.
Avira AntiVir reported that OSSTMP.dll "Contains detection pattern of the worm WORM/Israz.86016"

Hi, Have you seen the post [ http://www.exp-systems.com/forum_exp/forum_posts.asp?TID=146&PN=1 - here ]? It talks about this quite a bit. Basically, some older, out of date, or foreign anti-virus vendors flag this DLL incorrectly. However, all of the major anti-virus software such as NOD32, Norton, McAfee say that this file is safe (which it is). This DLL is a component I use for the "Pro" version which I purchased from http://www.ostrosoft.com - www.ostrosoft.com . If you are using PDF reDirect freeware, you can delete this file: it is used only in the Pro version to add the ability to send your PDF files by e-mail. I hope that helps, Michel ------------- Michel Korwin-Szymanowski EXP Systems LLC |

| Thanks for the link and the info. I searched for "worm" and got no hits. I will delete the file for now, but perhaps you can get Avira to fix their detections. AntiVir is actually rated as one of the best antivirus programs available http://www.anti-malware-test.com/ - here . |

Hi, Thanks for the update. I contacted Avira last night and submitted a "false positive" report with them. They said that they will investigate and get back to me, hopefully soon. Cheers! ------------- Michel Korwin-Szymanowski EXP Systems LLC |

Hi, Just got a reply from Avira. They reported the package as "clean" [ http://analysis.avira.com/samples/details.php?uniqueid=g8XpG96WnntNbXLD8vOnJFAVOBIcwER1&incidentid=173813 - here ]. They made no mention of the DLL, so I asked them for more info, and confirmation that they will fix their definition file. Cheers! ------------- Michel Korwin-Szymanowski EXP Systems LLC |

I just received the following e-mail from Avira. I think this says it all.

Hi! I had the same problem with a 'not found' virus when I used Avira. It's a good antivirus, but maybe you should try another option too. I recommend Avast, because is the one I'm using now, but you can find useful information about antiviruses comparison and problems here: www.best-antivirus.co It's a free reviews and downloads site. Good luck! |
