| Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 | OpenAL + Kaspersky Anti-Virus = riskware Anyone know why Kaspersky Anti-Virus sees the lastest version of Creative Labs' OpenAL (oalinst.exe) as malware/riskware? I had on old copy of openal and it was detected as malware/riskware, so I re-downloaded it from Creative Labs' website here: Home - OpenAL, and it too gives the same warning under Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7. I use 3DMark06 under vista64 and it requires the latest version of OpenAL to run. Anyone else seen this? Is it cause for concern? Thanks |

| Microsoft® Windows Vista® Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: OpenAL + Kaspersky Anti-Virus = riskware Can you please post a picture of the alert that pops up near the clock. It would be much more useful to find out why Kaspersky detected it as malicious... I personally am interested. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: OpenAL + Kaspersky Anti-Virus = riskware ![]() Here you go. The warnings by the red arrow are are the same and listed below: "11/26/2008 12:43:20 PM Running process E:\BENCHMARKS\OALINST.EXE: detected modification of riskware 'Worm.P2P.generic'." The locations are where the file was downloaded to and exercuted from. I basically added it to my safe zone. Last edited by sygnus21; 11-28-2008 at 01:12 PM.. |

| Microsoft® Windows Vista® Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: OpenAL + Kaspersky Anti-Virus = riskware Have you ran full scan lately... Remember, certain worms can infect the mot innocent files during the transfer... Any P2P worm is extremely dangerous... so now I'm worried. |
