A few days ago, i wanted to reinstall Poser 6 and was quite surprised to get a "Trojan Horse" warning from Pestpatrol. During the installation process Pespatrol discovers "SpyBuddy 3.7" in the setup routine. When P6 was released i downloaded it form efrontier - so i have no "orignal" P6 package - and created a backup CD. A manual scan of the files with Pestpatrol,Norton AV and PC-Cillin v12 reveals NO trojan horse. A manual scan of my system says as well that there is no problem. On the networking side i see NO unwanted connections to the internet (I checked the desktop firewall, my external firewall (professional one) and scanned the traffic with my network sniffer)- I am now not sure if this is just a false alarm or if there is really a trojan horse inside the P6 installation. Unfortunately CA didn't responded to my support email until today.
Does anybody here has Pestpatrol an tried recently to install the first P6 release ?
