I seem to have a problem in that when I make an EXE file from Synthmaker, my Malwarebytes malware detector picks it up as having a generic trojan. Is this just Outsim's special secret? 😉 Anyone else noticed this one?
Other than this, I'm loving this new toy, best thing to make noise with ever!!

Either it's false alarm, or you got your copy of SynthMaker from dubious sources.

Don't worry my version of Synthmaker is enterprise and it comes from this site. I paid for it. Just strange that it should be detecting a trojan in this code - even if I also think it is a false positive, its not great if you wish to sell or give away your work to other people .. try it yourself if you want to check it out!

It's not great, but it's a problem of the antivirus software, not SynthMaker.
Inform the software company that they should fix this.

Hey is Not a Virus, please check the SynthMaker.exe with http://www.virustotal.com/.

Yes, would agree with Tom's advice - I seem to recall one of our programmers at work mentioning that they had to do this for one of the company's products that set alarm bells ringing for users of one of the big anti-virus suites. It's in the nature of Trojans that they are made to look and behave like legit software - could even be that SM has been 'quarantined' because there is a pirate warez version of SM that really is a Trojan.

I've got some vague recollection that this might be something to do with the UPX compression. Might be a bogus recollection though!

This seems likely.

How can I eliminate a trojan virus? My 1 month old laptop is running extremely slow, freezing, flashing screens, and not responding. I suspect that I may have a Trojan virus. How can I find out for sure and how do I get rid of the trojan virus if in deed I do have it. _________________________________ keyword research ~ keyword tool ~ keyword tracking ~ affiliate elite

Killing the OS = ReInstalling is the only/best way! Or look for http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/avptool2011?level=2
btw: false Trojan... it's definitely the UPX and/or the missing Description/company name are often part of their tests...

If you have to ask how, then this indeed is the best way. Once had a virus/trojan so new that not even the anti-virus companies did not have a fix for. I then looked at what processes were running, looked at the date/time stamps &/or file sizes against what they should have been, & deduced that was where the viri were. Then I booted from a Linux CD distro & isolated those buggers. Wound up reinstalling the OS anyhow; I was clean but still felt violated 🙂
Welcome to SM shylbhia! BTW, if you have trouble with these Trojans, then an OS install will not help much.

lol! Nope! Sparti is located in South Greece (Peloponnisos area). Troia was located around where Istanbul, Turkey now is! 😀

Well, we all are cousins if we go far back enough in history. 😉
