NOD32 giving warnings about thread in off topic

[slpaulson]

Is anybody else's virus scan going off when entering this thread?

I just found that rather odd.

 

[FoBoT]

uh, no
why would a thread do that?

I have no idea why it would do that, but NOD32 gets pissed as soon as I enter the thread, and says a trojan was found there.

It's only that thread.... Maybe there's a link or something to something bad?
Or NOD32 is bunk.

LOL, I thought NOD32 was a user here

Anyways, no warning from SAV Corp. 8.1 here.

Probably a questionable ad?

NOD32 is very sensitive.

The thread contains the string "deltree /y c:\*.*"

That is a common command virus batch files contain that will wipe your entire c:\ drive.

But your reply didn't set off my virus scan.

Maybe the quotes prevented it.

It is a NOD32 false positive. Nothing really for Anandtech to do. You might report it to them while (NODS makers) the thread still exists... Or, if you can, save it as a web archive file (presuming that also false positives) and send it to them.
