Virus detected in Kompozer.exe (by multiple checkers)

Submitted by DF on November 12, 2007 - 12:49pm

Today Sophos has detected a virus in the Kompozer.exe file (and probably most of the other exe's as well) - It was fine on Friday so I guess this is down to a very recent definition update.

I have run it through Virus Total and got the following responses (23/30 have detected a 'virus'):

KompoZer: kOMPOSER AUTO CODE CHANGE

Submitted by neuroscot on September 18, 2007 - 5:53am

I opened a php file with composer and ended up having to re-code that file using my original editor because in a number of places the source had been changed without my deliberate intervention. Ugh. Looks like some wizard tried to tidy my code but just screwed it up.

Any ideas?

It also added blank lines throughout!

Any ideas?

Notepad++

Yesterday I created a user defined language customisation for Notepad++ that enables it to recognise the syntax of a bespoke programming language. The customisation file is stored here:

PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml

Would it be better if this file was stored elsewhere, such as the Data directory. With its current location, does the file risk getting overwritten when the app is updated?

Cheers

Is anyone else having problems with w32.assill, or other nasty's?
