QuickTimeStreaming.qtx infected by Win32:Trojano-2949 [Trj]
« on: November 24, 2005, 11:53:46 AM »
Hi everyone.
Having updated to the latest vps (VPS 0547-3, 24.11.2005) which added detection of this worm, i almost immediately got notified that QuickTimeStreaming.qtx in C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTsystem is infected by it. Having the file moved to the chest, apart from QuickTime that stopped working after that also the instant messenger Trillian stopped working (it seems strange regarding trillian, but since last night -when it was working properly- i didnt add any software or anything...i just boot this morning the laptop, antivirus updated, file moved to chest, trillian stopped working...). Also, regarding QuickTime i havent been using it at all (neither i remember seeing it working through any browser) so it seems strange that some of its files got infected.
Can this be a false positive detection case?
I remember a few weeks ago, after an update, adobe32.dll was reported as infected in what turned out to be a false positive.
Thank u in advance for any advise
Cheers!

QuickTime is into iTunes right now.
You could have a plugin for iTunes into Trillian.
But, as you say, it could be a false positive.
Did you submit the file to Jotti or VirusTotal for analysis?

Hi,
I have the same problem like you. It just happened after the daily update of avast!
I turned avast off now and everything works fine again!

I just got the same detection. My VPS file just updated to 0547-3, 24.11.2005. Should I mark the QuickTimeStream.qtx file as safe?

Cheers!

Invoke a VPS update - 0547-4 was released a while ago.

QuickTimeStreaming.qtx gone

I'm sorry but I didn't move QuickTimeStreaming.qtx to chest, but deleted it.
I know now we can simply use iTunes and Quicktime by taking it back from chest 'cause the latest version no longer detects QuickTimeStreaming.qtx, but How can I do without QuickTimeStreaming.qtx?

I already tried to install iTunessetup.exe again, but after installing, iTunes still shows error, and I can't even uninstall Quicktime from my PC. :-\

thanks

No, unfortunately I can't get it fixed. I've been trying to re-install iTunes/QuickTime many times since yesterday when I deleted the qtx file on Avast request. I've also updated the VPS to no avail.

 Everything seem to go well as iTunes gets installed, but QT installation stops displaying error code -3.

To uninstall QT seems pretty difficult as well as it complains that the msi installation file cannot be found.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
