Virus Found [UPDATE: Unrelated to Moving Pictures] (1 Viewer)

[fforde]

Well I don't know what to tell you, I have downloaded the image directly from the website and VirusTotal tells me it's fine. I setup a dummy movie and had Moving Pictures download the backdrop for me then scanned that file and VirusTotal tells me it's clear. If you turn on debug logging I will take a closer look at your log files, but it seems like maybe something is intercepting and injecting something into the images in transit? I don't know... when I say it out loud that sounds crazy to me, but the file seems fine when pulled from the server on my end.

well here is the log in debug mode, i included screenie showing the 2 films after they get stuck they dont move any further from no matter how long i leave them

i hope you can find out wahts going wrong, the phyical files are clean server has done 80% scan, says its clean so far

Well the reason processing stops is because the importer thread is crashing I think because your anti-virus software is preventing access to the file. Crashed thread means that all import progress stops for whatever movie was currently being processed. Have you tried manually downloading the image files from the website and scanning that?

And I assume you have deleted the infected file? If not try deleting the infected file then restarting the config screen. Moving Pictures should automatically redownload the backdrop when it sees the old one is missing. Once it does try rescanning the file to see if it is infected.

i have deleted the infected files many times and everytime it downloads it again avira pops up.

manually downloading them is fine there clean as a whistle

any ideas to whats up?

I have no idea... we do a little bit of image manipulation once we download the file, but all we are doing is converting it to a JPG using the standard Windows GDI library. You can see the source code here: DBMovieInfo.cs - moving-pictures - Google Code

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

 

[happy]

well im not a coding man, i did a bit of vb back in the days, so judging by that, code looks fine i think

i've manually assigned the movies in question

but if anyone has ever come across this let john know so he can take a look, its a strange thing to have happened

Just to let you know, Avast finds nothing wrong with these downloaded files.

Happy are you certain its not the video itself thats tripping your a\v, did you get them from a good source

Well, the only thing I can say about this is I recently encountered this with the backdrop/folder (cant remember) of the movie "snatch" (with Brad Pitt). Although moving pictures didnt crash. Only after a scheduled scan the file came up as containing a virus.

I'm very sorry but I can't remember I just deleted the file and downloaded another 1 that didn't give me a virus warning. Although I do remember that I downloaded from either themovie.db or IMP.awards. I also remember (and I guess thats why moving pictures didnt crash) I downloaded the file myself and NOT through mediaportal-moving pictures. Perhaps that somehow "proves" it is possible for folders/backdrops from those sources to contain virusses????

P.S. after the virus alert I also scanned my entire network --> no virusses.......(except for the delted one of course)
