Is Sopcast Trojan infected?

cricman · #1 April 6, 2008, 07:38 PM

I just ran Norton and It labled the sopcast files as Trojan Horse, now is just a false alarm because Sopcast for some reason Norton labels Sopcast as a Virus or is really a Virus?

I'm going to delete Sop 2.0.1 and Download Sop 3.0.2 and than run the scan again, but has anyone else had this issue?

I used to have norton (2005 version) but in January I got free upgrade to 2008. Any way once I choose to do that It stopped working and it wont let me uninstall either. I had no choice but to Install alternative (McAfee). I am still trying to get rid off Norton from my sytem. I have sent message to symantec software with no reply.I now class Norton as a Virus

not Anti-Virus as it should be.

Oh sorry I use SOP 2.0.4

I heard the old Sopcast has Trojan virus.

But new edition has more security. And its virus free.

Did you download the Norton Remover??

Heres the link

http://service1.symantec.com/Support...05033108162039

Try with this one, may be you will be able to remove it.

I just hate the Norton softwares. They just suck. Mcafee is best.

Thanks Murad will give it a try now. At least one more person who agrees with me about Norton.

Sop 3 kobay ber holo? Do I need to upgrade? 2.0.4 will work fine?

tonoy · #7 April 7, 2008, 09:07 AM

2.04 will work fine, but its best to get the updated version.

Norton sucks.

Go with Avast. The best out there!

Did I mention it is fully free (with updates)

for home use?

If it hadnt been for Nasif Bhai's recommendation, I wouldnt have tried out Avast!

I have become a total fan of Avast since for the past 2 years. Lightweight, free updates, not as annoying as Kaspersky, very thorough... cleaned a trojan that went undetected by AVG on my friend's computer.
