Posted April 29, 201212 yr 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...
April 29, 201212 yr Administrators 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.
April 29, 201212 yr Thanks Miroslaw, Paul, Is there a way to report a false positive to them? Maybe from within their app?
