    Default Poker Tracker infected?

    Hi!

    Coincidence or not but I downloaded Poker Tracker yesterday
    and installed it. Next day my virus scanner found Trojano-2949
    in my poker client .exe file. I am very concerned about this
    because I have not installed any other new software recently.

    Well I removed viruses in my computer (2 exes were infected
    and both were poker client related).

    I contacted well respected poker-client company and they confirmed
    that their client software was not infected. I tested this and downloaded
    the poker client again and it did not contain viruses.

    So only place really where I could have got this virus is Pokertracker
    software.

    Any other experiences like this?

    I am so paranoid person that I think that perfect way to spy
    pokerroom passwords would be install spyware program in
    this kind of utility.

    I have contacted Pokertracker support also but have not
    received answer yet...

    PS. Great software btw. Seems that I am Loose/Aggressive/aggressive.
    I dont know if its good or bad

    Default No porn surfing here

    And using firewall, spyware remover and antivirus scanner. So
    very difficult to get viruses just by surfing around. And btw I
    have worked with IT 20 years...

    If you've worked with IT for 20 years, I'm guessing you should know that your antivirus scanner SHOULD have autoprotect enabled (if not, you worked IT for 20 years pointlessly) and that it WILL pick up on any virus that might be contained in a program you are about to run, and will STOP the program from running if it detects such a thing.
    At least that's my setup.
