Virus detected in cTrader
02 Apr 2024, 07:27


I run Bitdefender Antivirus Plus on my computer. Today it detected an infected file, in this case a Trojan, within cTrader. This is the file it detected, quarantined, and subsequently deleted:    C:\Users\AppData\Local\Spotware\cTrader\4282ac50e6a21025db1b7336688d89c6\app_4.9.1.25142\algohost.netframework\Core.Domain.Primitives.dll is infected with Trojan.GenericKD.72162

After the antivirus quarantined and deleted the infected file all custom indicators have now stopped working. Has anybody else encountered this problem and how can I now resolve it? Obviously this is a major concern.

What if you uninstall and reinstall cTrader?

 

If you uninstall everything, and then do a fresh install of cTrader, and it's still identified as being a virus, I'd say it's probably a “false positive” on Bitdefender's part.

To prove this theory, on another computer where you have BItdefender installed and have never installed cTrader, install cTrader from Spotware itself (spotware.com) there and see what happens. If BItdefender flags it, that's definitely Bitdefender identifying false positives.

I have been on to Bitdefender for several hours this morning. The end of it was going through a process of going into Bitdefenders' <Protection>, <Advanced Threat Protection>, opening that and going to settings. Under that they had me select <manage exceptions> and then add exceptions for paths to the folders where the cTrader software is located. I also created an exception for the pathway which stopped me from downloading cTrader when I tried to download and reinstall it again. Fingers crossed that seems to have now solved the problem. Bitdefender is also now taking a closer look at the problem to resolve it.

The same thing happened to me today. I am not able to add exceptions to bit defender, is it possible to fix the nuget package? The Chart Analysis Saver stopped working because of this.

Hi there,

There is nothing to fix on our side. Bitdefender needs to fix the false positive

Not sure why you can't exceptions. Not sure if you have the free version or paid version of Bitdefender. If you have the free that could possibly be why there's no capability to add exceptions. My advise would be to use the live chat with Bitdefender and they can help you further regarding why you aren't able to add exceptions. They told me that they were going to look further into the issue of why it's flagging up a false positive.

After my long talk with them on Wednesday they are going to take a closer look at this.

HP Wolf Security

A similar message popped up today from HP Wolf Security. Obviously I deleted the file and uninstalled cTrader.

Two false positives from two different security softwares is weird.
