I just (maybe 10 minutes ago) followed the link from the splitcamera.com site to download the installation file from the CNet download site. The file downloaded fine, but when I start the installation, and the files are being installed, my antivirus program tells me there is a trojan embedded in the SplitCam.exe file. It gives the virus name: Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}

The antivirus has a "repair" option, which does not repair this file. Other options in the antivirus result in the file being deleted, and then splitcamera will not work.

Is this a real problem? Or is this one of those cases where the install instructions should have said to temporarily disable antivirus to avoid false alarms?

Needless to say, I don't want to introduce a virus on my computer.

Happened to me as well Sad

I'm wondering if it's a false positive or a real problem? Anyone else had this issue

Looks like there may be a problem with the CNet download. I pulled it and ran it against virustotal and jotti and it wasn't pretty.

Code:

Is the CNet download file going to be fixed/replaced? The splitcamera website offers a couple of other options to download direct from their server, but those files do not seem to be an installation package. What do I need to download to use the software?
