I don't have a Vogons account and I'd probably be barraged with ZellSF type replies if I did, ya'd think that asking an honest question was a crime. I already had a once over of that thread you linked to, checking for the word "virus" and the only thing that came up was for a game title that some one had tried running it with (virus 2000 or something similar). I understand that the provided DDraw.dll and D3Dlmm,dll files are wrappers and function as translators for the modern DirectX counterparts, so a flag of "WS.Reputation.1" that Symantec returned makes sense, but others like: ".8", "Trojan-Dropper" and "Malware-Cryptor.Limpopo" look pretty scary.ĭoes anyone know if dege has addressed these on the Vogon forums or elsewhere?ĭustyStyx: Before I made a forum post, I had sent email his way, but haven't gotten a reply. So on another forum, a user commented that their copy of Symantec (Norton) flagged dgVoodoo2, so I ran a scan on the dll and exe files included in the dgVoodoo2 zip file, using the VirusTotal web service and sure enough many of them seem to have something or other going on. This was a problem for all other softwares built with NSIS (Nullsoft Installer) because that utility also builds an installer containing compressed data. They don't contain any backdoor or dangerous code at all, it doesn't matter what your AV says. What I can say is that dgVoodoo and my other stuffs often get false positive detections from various antivirus softwares but they are 100% safe.
