Possible Trojan in Gimp Portable?

Submitted by blepoxp on December 1, 2006 - 12:39pm

Hello,
I've noticed popups on any computer that my portable apps suite is running on and haven't been able to find any discussion of that in the forums here. Is this something that I just have to deal with. None of the computers have experienced popup trouble before or continue to do so w/o my device plugged in.

I realize that another option is that the popups are coming from my device but not part of the portable apps suite.

Anyway, I ran a spyware detection on my device and it flagged the following file in the portable gimp folder. Is this a legitimate part of portable gimp or should I delete it?

GIMP Portable 2.2.12 multilingual containTrojaner TR/Dldr.VB.ags !!!

Hello,

During GIMP Portable 2.2.12 multilingual installation I've got a Warning message from my local system virus scanner "AntiVir" that downlad package "GIMP_Portable_2.2.12_multilingual.exe" contain following Trojaner -> TR/Dldr.VB.ags!!!

I deleted this file with AntiVir.

Next I started Gimp without trouble.
So I think and I hope that it works, but I could'nt say it definitely.

Greetingz.

GIMP: New F-Secure False Positive

Submitted by KevinTMC on November 28, 2006 - 10:15am

F-Secure has long since fixed the last, Avast-style problem; but this morning it went and "found" a virus in one of the GIMP .exe files:

2006-11-28  06:44:43-04:00  F-Secure Anti-Virus  1.3.6.1.4.1.2213.11.1.12
Malicious code found in file
J:\PORTABLEAPPS\GIMPPORTABLE\APP\GTK\BIN\GSPAWN-WIN32-HELPER.EXE.
 Infection: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.VB.aqs
 Action: The file was renamed.

If this file is the same one used in the non-Portable version of The GIMP, I'm sure it's already been reported...but if not, you'll want to pass word along to F-Secure.

Portable Gimp 2.2.12 Problem

Submitted by Jace on November 22, 2006 - 2:46pm

The specific issue :

gimp-2.2.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point libintl_sprintf could not be located in the dynamic link library intl.dll

This comes up as soon as I try to run portable gimp, I get no other errors and nothing pops up on screen, not even the start up image.

I am running Windows XP and just downloaded the file today and installed it to the local hard drive.

GIMP: Fonts directory

I can't remember where to put user fonts. There is a directory to put fonts to make them accessible portably, but I accidentally deleted that directory. I think the answer is somewhere on gimp.org, but I can't find it. And yes, I did search before posting. Blum

PortableGIMP on CD (file structure too deep)?

Submitted by ulflier on October 26, 2006 - 5:43pm

Am I doing something wrong / Am I burning a data CD wrong?

I couple days ago I downloaded Portable GIMP, installed and ran it once on the hard drive (as per the instructions "Running From a CD (GIMP Portable Live)"). But when I went to burn it to CD, there was a complaint about the folder structure being too deep (beyond ~8 deep). Am I doing something wrong in my CD burning? I had Portable GIMP directly in the root folder (not in a Programs subfolder).
