Version: Video Fixer 3.23
"Infected with Trojan ... according to Bitdefender Antivirus"
Pros: The installer managed to get downloaded a lot, well done, but I can't say more because I couldn't check the program myself because ... see Cons.
Cons: My antivirus program is Bitdefender and it put up a warning and automatically removed the installer as soon as the downloaded. The message was:
"File ...\videofixer.exe
infected with Trojan.Generic.26428"
Might be a false positive, of course, but, as opposed to viruses that are on the system already, this one is completely removed and, it appears, I can't send it to Bitdefender. I also tried download Video Fixer from a two other sites, one of them one of the major software download sites. All links on other sites I tried didn't work. The impression all these factors create is that something isn't quite right with Video Fixer, perhaps the Trojan it is supposed to carry has only very recently been identified. Just writing this as a preliminary warning, I'm not expert enough to be sure there is really a trojan. I'd like to know for sure if there really is, and if so, how it's possible it remained undiscovered for so long. Till then, better safe than sorry.
