   My F-secure would like to remove Photomagicmaker.exe 'cos it thinks it's trojan..

   Sending file to the Virus Total give following results: 9/43 scanners think it's trojanhorse.

   So... what to do? If I let F-secure neutralize it, it do remove that .exe and good bye for the software..

   If it really is infected, then I do hope that giveawayoftheday NEVER EVER give anything made by same creators!

   Looking at the results, the hits are widely spread over several AV programmes. Nevertheless, that can be a false positive.

   Be assured, the GOTD team scans every package they give away. When you download directly from the developer - then there is of course no guarantee.

   Sometimes scanners find a new trojan/virus only after some time. So there is never a safety of 100%.
   I downloaded the programme but deleted it, because I don't like it, so I can't look at it now.
   As an advice: send the file to your or any other AV laboratory to test if it is a false positive.
   I would quarantine the programme for some days, and redo the scan, when it's a false positive (most likely), the AV tools will be updated and the scan will be clean.

   Good luck.

   I wrote the developer about this when the main exe was quarantined over here on 2010/11/22.
   As far as I can tell it was something about some code lines and the way the main exe was compressed.

   Anyway ,below is the friendly answer I received from Boxoft.com back then:
   (in case the problem persisted)

   Thanks for contacting me.
   I'm sorry for any inconvenience that might cause. Will you please download the trial version from our website directly to have another try: http://boxoft.com/photo-magic-maker/ ?
   Thanks for all.

   Best Regards,

   No problems/alerts with the version on their website (being version 1.1)...
   ...and the program is still registered. :)
