Why your .exe is showing as a virus

[Amaranth]

Was researching the error im getting which is a Themida error and stumbled upon some information about Themida that will explain the virus issues some of you are getting.

Basically its a company that makes software to protect software's codes from being read. Its what stops anyone from getting the code inside the .exe or something similar not really sure and its not that important.

So, some clever person decided to package their virus using Themida software so that it couldnt be accessed by anti virus to delete. Themida is the same software that is used to package the mir.exe. So your antivirus thinks that the mir.exe is infact a virus packaged in the themida files trying to stop it self being found.

More information on the actual Themida virus can be found here: http://handlers.sans.org/pbueno/Jansen_ma7.pdf

Basically its a false positive in your Virus scanner. It will be in most scanners if not all. It most likely wont be just affecting Mir and will probably be fixed by what ever company makes your anti virus.

If you have the same error as me there is no fix to be given. Ive emailed the people who made Themida and they refuse to help.

If you arent getting same error as me and are instead just getting a virus error thats easy to fix.

jamie hacking u gonna steal allur items!

[emmeweme]

isnt themida used to pack applications to stop you editing them?

[Sable]

you should be able to tell your virus scanner that mir.exe is safe so it will ignor it. think thats the only other way of fixing it that i knows of

i dont have this problem on my laptop as i dont have a virus scanner installed, on my other machine i have avg installed and had problems running mir. IF you dont mind turning off your anti virus u can play mir, and with AVG u need to close it and the go to task manager and manually turn off the avg processes that are still running in the background. hope this helps
