Both Movie Star Trainer zip files are infected with Trojans and shouldnt be downloaded untill fixed

They scan any file before they upload it, so there is no way to have a virus. However some antivirus maybe detect some files as viruses but actually there aren't.

My God I've heard this time and time again and time and time again the Admin just comes and says that they all get scanned with 18 different virus scanners and sometimes the scanners used by some detect the trainers as viruses.

Sorry, I have no clue what Star Trainer zip files are...Are those the files that let you make your own stars? Cause I have that, and I haven't got any viruses or trojans

Win32/Keylogger.HotKeyHooks.A

ok... got the idea. the algorythm to find the pressed keys, maybe same as a trojan.

for nod32, it doesn't matter, this appears to be trojan. however after disabling the automatic monitor and extracting the trainer, nod32 is not giving any errors on this file.

oh, don't forget to re-enable AMON

THIS IS NOT A VIRUS PEOPLE. THIS IS A PERFECTLY SAFE FILE THAT IS NECESSARY IN SOME TRAINERS IN ORDER TO "CAPTURE KEYSTROKE" THAT ARE PRESSED IN THE GAME SO THE TRAINER CAN DO IT'S JOB.

Most anitvirus programs do not even acknowledge these files. It's a false positive that goes back about 10 years and was never fixed.

Bottom line, if you don't want to run it, DON'T.

Certain virus scanners use a proactive scan vs a retroactive scan. Your have the former and it scans files before they are executed. This prevents viruses from doing damage before it's too late (meaning it can clean much more infections than a retroactive scanner). The downside (this is one of these cases) is that some programs that are safe are marked by the scanner as bad do to the way the program behaves. Rest assured that none of the files on this site are dangerous to your computer (trainers moniter certain keys on your keyboard as the program executes the cheats when you push the hotkeys for them).
