I recently Installed an new hard drive and had to reinstall everything from scratch. AVG free 2011 version is reporting a virus in dbproimagedebug.dll. I find it hard to believe it is a real virus and think it is a false positive, but would like to be sure.Anyone else have this problem ?



As it seems to be a temporary file created by DBP, it is hard to add to an exception list and I have solved the problem by excluding my entire user directory. This is not ideal and If you have a better solution let me know.

Also, it will not be very good for distribution to others with this problem.

Edit - I have now managed to exclude the folder

C:\Users\Jammy\AppData\Local\Temp\dbpdata

Which is much better - still not ideal though.

Yeah, be careful, this dll can display images on your computer. Happily AVG has detected it! Here is a fix for it:

In all honesty, when it comes to free anti-virus programs, I have that Avast works best for the computer I keep DBPRO on. I have tried AVG on it before Avast and found that AVG seems to see most of the DBPRO dlls as viruses. So, I recommend what French gui is telling you. I'd suggest finding another anti-virus program...OR...if you can, place DBPRO on a second computer that has no internet connection, remove any anti-virus programs, and use a primary system for downloading/uploading any DBPRO/FPSC material. Keep the secondary system isolated from any contact with the world wide web. Just a suggestion.

I know a lot of peeps here will disagree with Avast, but it has served me well and protected my system when others wouldn't.

For a real fix, I'd suggest contacting AVG and reporting a false positive.

I have got to agree with Jerico2day, this is not an issue about which Anti -Virus is the best, but how to deal with these false positives.

All anti-virus programs will have false positives which, although a pain, most people here will be able to deal with. It is about distribution of our programs.

If I give a program, I have made to someone and It is flagged as virus ridden then they are not going to be happy (especially if they have paid for it). Who are they going to believe the multinational, million dollar anti-virus industry or the third rate bedroom programmer.

I will report this false positive to AVG and I urge everyone else to do the same, If they have similar issues, whatever antivirus they are using. Perhaps TGC could report these issues too ?

On a similar note the other problem I had on re- installing is that Microsoft has Stopped all our programs working with its latest Windows 7 SP1 all-in-one update package. Lee as always, was immediately on the case and now Rc3 of update 7.7 includes the fix which solves this problem (great work). However this means we will all need to recompile all our programs or they will give this error.



I have lost the source to some of my older programs and they will now never work.

It is a long-shot, but perhaps, if we report this issue to microsoft they could provide a fix in a future update. [b]

Everytime I have installed DBP I have gotten a virus alert from one of the demo application.exe. I figure it's a false positive but delete it just to be safe anyway since it's not a vital DBP file.
