Action was blocked
« on: July 20, 2011, 12:35:22 AM »
I was downloading a video on real player when avast said that it blocked the action because it had a virus, but after the download i can open real player and play the video. Does this mean that i have the virus now?

It looks like the Real updater was blocked, not the video file.

yep so it seems......and the file is clean, and i can not find anything with online scanners on the url




for a second opinion. you may check the comp for malware with this

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.51. http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
always make sure the program is updateded before you scan
click on the remove selected  button to quarantine anything found

you may post the scan log here if anything is foun

It isn't that the file is infected, just that from its location and it being a dll, it is creating a registry entry item to run the RealUpgrade on the next boot.

So what you have to answer is, what initiated this command, e.g. did you just install RealPlayer or select the option to update/upgrade ?

When posting an image, please crop the image to just what is relevant not full screen, there are still people using dial-up and it cuts down on file size and the image can be opened within the topic not in a new window.

I believe real Player sets up to automatically update on install. Look in Preferences-Automatic Services to adjust settings.
