G-Data 2013:
Virus: Gen:Variant.Symmi.4349 (Engine A)

J-Runner.exe will be detected as virus. Other antivirus tools get alarms too with different names.

What´s up? Redownloaded the complete package, happenend after updating the last time. Any one trouble with this too?

yer i get it with norton but when i looked at the info norton gave it was becuse j runner had low trust level and it did not report it to be a virus.false positive for me.
you should be safe as long as you are using a good link to download

What AV programs are you using?

Actual G-Data 2013, on other system Avast, on third system i use F-Secure. All get virus alarms for j-runner.exe.

Used the downloadlink from the TX-Mainpage (file from mediafire). Re-Downloaded already, but while opening archive it gets a virus warning on all systems. Maybe the mediafire archive is infected?!

Does anybody got a "secure" and "trusted" download?

EDIT: I got an older 278 archive of J-Runner, installed this one and tried to update from within JR. While downloading there is a virus detection, maybe something got faulty?!

If a program says that there is an issue with the official download of JRunner, it is a false positive. Period

Maybe :)

It is only ugly that older versions run flawlessly and after updating JR is detected. On another system with G-Data (same as PC #1) JR is installed since it was released in it´s latest version and isn´t claimed as a virus.

So i made a second installation on this "clean" PC and copied the complete "clean" directory to another, put in an older JR version and updated it. Then while accessing the "new" JR version even this system is detecting a virus.

Rebooted the system, and put in the .exe from the "clean" directory to the new installation folder and everything is ok. Did this on the other systems and everything runs perfect. No virus alarms.

So there is a possibility that maybe "mediafire" is infected or the hosted space where updates come from somehow... Maybe there are other reports, happenend to me today. The "clean" system hasn´t been on internet since the release of the latest JR.

Uh, i'm pretty sure i'd know if JRunner had a virus.

I think so too, but it is really ugly that 3 different AV-products claim the .exe (even with updating from jrunner itself) as a virus.
I put an older version of it to my netbook (tested FreeAV from Avira and Kaspersky now) and even these claiming both downloads (mediafire) and through updater as positive alert. :(
Even ClamAV from linux is now alerting...the netbook hasn´t been connected to my home network, so i can be sure there is nothing going on (used UMTS connection for downloading). It is only jrunner.exe for 2 days now ?

Maybe some libaries compiled within JR that had been flagged by the AV-companys recently as virus-alert?

It's common for a lot of av's to set a false positive on things such as 'hack tools' nothing to worry about. Move along.
