JNGP 2 trojans!!

[Chewii]

Hello, I downloaded JNGP and my security system warned me of 2 trojans..
So I wonder is JNGP a virus???

If you downloaded this:
https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/jassnewgenpack-5d-227445/

Did you actually read the description?

 

[Chewii]

You know Solu9 I did! Weird huh?
But it doesn't say ANYTHING about 2 trojans.. and 2 trojans are a big deal. So i want to be 100% before i do anything

I think you can be pretty sure that if a tool is accepted here it contains zero vira

 

[Chewii]

Well virus cases have been spotted here before, so you can't be too sure

 

[Solu9]

True, true indeed. Though the last update was made the 12th of December 2012. So I believe a virus would have been caught by now

 

[Chewii]

That is also true.

Viruses haven't been spotted here. There may have been one or two issues related to ads, and one malware warning due to one person's signature, but apart from that, all of our downloads are safe.

But yes, it will report a virus due to the way grimoire hacks into the editor. Just ignore it or blacklist it.

I agree PurgeandFire. Every time I downloaded GNGP from THW i never got viruses from it.

I always block JNGP corridor (path) from my Avast! Scan (except if there's a malicious virus trespassing in to the corridor.
I have check every JNGP version and none of them are filled with Virus, just make sure to download them from the official websites listed below :
[1] Warcraft 3 Campaigns
[2] The Hive Workshop
[3] Blizzard Modding (or any of it's sub sites)

 

[Chewii]

Yes indeed thanks mates

im surprised this isn't actually common information but JNGP has always had the problem of being flagged as a false virus because it pretty much injects its code into the world editor to add all it's features like a virus would

if u look at the old JNGP thread on wc3 campaigns it still has a disclaimer explaining this
