the_book Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 i have just downloaded and attempted to in stall hyperspin only to have my AV delete the main exe because it has found a virus , \HyperSpin Install v1.3.2.0.zip » ZIP » HyperHQ.exe - a variant of Win32/Packed.MoleboxVS.G suspicious application \HyperSpin Install v1.3.2.0.zip » ZIP » HyperSpin.exe - a variant of Win32/Packed.MoleboxVS.G suspicious application come on guys clean up and scan before you publish!
DamnedRegistrations Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 You honestly think we'd all be here, doing the work that we do while using virus infected software? Come on, use some common sense and have a look around. It's called a false positive, something most AV programs can't seem to distinguish between real threats. Tell your silly program to ignore them and relax. There are no trojans, viruses or any such infections in Hyperspin.
32assassin Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 come on guys stop using crap antivirus some antivirus are not able to scan every file, when they can't scan those files they treat them as potential risks. AV, Norton are perfect examples.
dark13 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Well, honestly it's not about being expert in viruses but it's all about READING what your antivirus says. Hyperspin technically act like a "suspicious" application (it launch other softwares) but a "suspicious application" or a "potential unwanted software" is not a virus nor a trojan. Some softwares as malwarebytes have correct definitions for these softwares (some DRM removal tools for example does things that a virus would do but they are not viruses), other softwares treat them like "trojan". Antivir is a decent antivirus but it does have a really high "false positive" rate... Automatizing infopanels creation from .csv files for HTPCs themes (look at infopanel tutorial.zip on the ftp in dark13 folder) PNGs to SWFs automatized flash scripts Hyperspin Wheelset automatized template (photoshop's variables + batch) Aeon nox 4.13 W.I.P. hyperspin skin
HappyFlap Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 You are clearly a troll considering you have one post in this community. Please stop trying to panic other users, and giving the application poor credit.
jackhammersalm Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 funny thing is kasparsky says it's a positive and I know it's a false positive. won't allow me to ignore it the thing it claims is a trojan is hyperbrite. don't need it so I allow it The Hyperspin Report writer/editor <br />resident grouch, Hyperspin facebook modorator<br />for those who want to read my work <br /><a href='http://thehyperspinreport.blogspot.co.uk' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://thehyperspinreport.blogspot.co.uk</a>
DamnedRegistrations Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 There really isn't much use to AV software nowadays to be honest. Nothing will stop the most dangerous threats out there. I think it's best just to use Microsoft Security Essentials (if any AV software at all), ccleaner and adblock edge/noscript in Firefox. Then just keep everything backed up. If you ever think you are infected, then temporarily install MalwareBytes and clean it out during a safe boot. At least then you're barely using any system resources. Kaspersky, AVG, NOD32, Norton, Avast, etc. are not much better than what MS offers for free and they all seem to flag far too many false positives and cause general problems. Some of them even flag PC game mods and other annoyances.
Alpha17x Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 It's a false positive because it interacts with other software as a basis of it's core function. It's the same reason that when you patch a game it sometimes gives the patch a false positive.
SighFye Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Posting 1 time does not make him a troll. It makes him someone who wanted to try the program and was spooked by the Trojan threat. I have Norton 360 and I also got positive scans to a Trojan. I on the other hand are going to take the risk and try it. There is a massive amount of post saying this is a false positive I I can always reinstall. If something happens to my computer I will repost to everyone and give the details.
relic Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 its strange i never get viruses listed from hyperspin at all i dont know what you guys do diffrent 100%
bravomario Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 odd this never came up for me before but seeing as my hyperspin.exe just vanished I went to download 1.4 stable and it's being flagged and deleted.... Win10 Pro x64... new defender definition no doubt... just need to use some google-fu to stop it! that or my HDD is finally dying and this false positive is a separate...let's hope not
bravomario Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 2 seconds of digging uncovered it was indeed deleted by defender (win10 x64 pro) clearly a FP but worth flagging in case anything can be done Trojan:Win32/Skeeyah.C!plock
Shermo Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Haven't used AV for 10 years or more No script/adblock on browser Malwarebytes free Windows security since 8(has av i know but takes nothing like others) Biggest one of all common sense! The big bad viruses ms always release a remover that's why its really important to keep your windows up to date
Krakerman Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Just updated Windows Defender and fixed the false positive. No longer reports Malware. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
smpetty Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 2 seconds of digging uncovered it was indeed deleted by defender (win10 x64 pro) clearly a FP but worth flagging in case anything can be done Trojan:Win32/Skeeyah.C!plock[/size] Had the same thing happen on both of my Hyperspin installs, both Windows 7 64-bit. I had a warning from Microsoft Essentials that I had been infected with the Win32/Skeeyah.C!plock virus. An hour later,I realized that Hyperspin.exe disappeared on both computers. I assumed incorrectly that I had been hit with a virus on both computers, uninstalled Malware Bytes and Microsoft Essentials on both, installed BitDefender on both, ran full scans, and had Hyperbrite.exe flagged as a virus on both. One big cycle of false positives and work!
tobe5 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Hello everyone. I am new here. I wanted to put this post because I too have found hyperspin and hyperbrite to be viruses with a malware scan. Also, I can tell it is a virus or something because my mouse acts strangely after install. After I deleted both that came up viruses, my mouse worked correctly again. After I put them back into the folder, the mouse is acting strangely. I am not trying to be a troll, I just really would like to have a clean, working version of this program as everything I have seen with it I really like. It is by far the prettiest looking frontend I have seen to date.

tobe5 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 False positives Tapatalk signature I know everyone keeps saying false positive, but I seriously have a hard time moving my mouse around after it is installed. It is only this program because my mouse moves fine when it isn't installed. I don't want to create any arguments or anything like that. I just want to be able to have a nice clean install so I can use the best looking frontend I have seen around. That's all.

If that's Windows 8 or 10 - Windows Defender is integrated so create the exception in there. There's no virus in HyperSpin - it's simply because of how the program works that it creates a false positive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
tobe5 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 ok. what about hyperbrite then? that is the other one saying it is a virus in scan.
ninja2bceen Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Dude anything u get from rocketlauncher or hyperspin is safe. If u arnt wanting to trust it, just don't do it. But if u want the best front end, jump in and ur eyes will be open Tapatalk signature Advance the cause to 100%. http://hyperbase.hyperspin-fe.com/ Planet Geekdom, Subscribe for Tutorials! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdcby-s2GwriaOHGmVC2vGA?sub_confirmation=1&app=desktop

Reefboi16 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Viruses are not going to worry about your mouse. AV programs are crap most of them are nothing but bloatware.
DoubleMark Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Yeah; in addition to looking for specific viruses, lots of AV programs use heuristic scanning, which is a fancy guess, but still a guess. False positives are very real. But if tons of people are using the software safely...
denial01 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 my antivirus scanned trojans and deleted hyperspin and hq from my computer, the sound of my pc mute itself and other odd things, i dont think its just a false positive its something else... please check the programs because its a super cool launcher im sad this hsppens..
