PCMonitorManager.exe removed

[Mirosław Malinowski]

Today I found PCMonitorManager.exe removed from all 3 of monitored PC by G Data AntiVirus: Gen: Variant.Barys.1958 found. Probably false alert, but need to be fixed somehow between you and G Data...

It's a false positive because the binaries are protected from debuggers (just like most viruses and other 5 million applications are). All PC Monitor released are signed with a certificate, this should be enough to prove the authenticity. In the mean time I suggest that you manually create exception rules for the PC Monitor folder.

G Data... never heard of them.

Thanks Miroslaw, Paul,

Is there a way to report a false positive to them? Maybe from within their app?

Well known for several AV solutions: http://www.gdatasoftware.com/ What is unique to them for now is that they are one of few only companies providing solutions for MS Windows Home Server 2011.

Just opened ticket with them, but no responce yet...
