Just downloaded and installed PiTool Beta 121. First off the link was bad on your page, you had a trailing space which caused an issue, removing the space allowed the file to download. (the link had a %20 at the end).
Also, during the install Windows alerted me to a virus. It identified Trojan:Win32/Fuery.B!cl in the following file: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\is-OBJ55.tmp\pvr_oc_support_setup.exe
It quarantined the file so hopefully I was not burned by this.
That is a falseflag was discussed as a couple of users using Bitdefender also had this issue.
What antivirus software are you using?
Will the removed quarantined file affect the install at all? I ran PiTool and everything seems fine so far.
@TrevorVR I am using the built-in Windows 10 Defender thing. No 3rd party tools here.
I canât say overall. But the removed filename suggests you wonât be able to run Oculus titles directly through pitool.
Now that is strange. I use Windiwâs built in virus checker & didnât have any warnings on install. Will need to take a deeper look (donât have oculus home installed)
Is there anything from Pimax that says itâs a false positive? I see others who noted it, but I havenât seen an answer from @anon57422158
No pimax official no. Just community results. But yeah pimax should be ones to make s real statement.
Thanks, Iâll keep digging.
Or alternatively⌠all of us Pimax users have exposed our PCs to hackers who will encrypt all files in our network and hold all our data as ransom for bitcoins.
Iâve uploaded the temporary pvr setup files to a virus threat testing site, not a clean bill of health but itâs only a few scanners which believe something nefarious is going on.
Doesnât make me sleep better at night but fingers crossed.
I donât understand why Pimax wonât address it once and for all. I did create a support case, so letâs see how it pans out. Itâs not a good look to trigger virus alerts all over the place. And to all those who say âpffft, none issueâ remember that Asusâ update was hacked and installed malware. So itâs not as if itâs out of the realm of possibilities. Come @PimaxVR & @pimax & @anon57422158 can you publicly address it? Or contact the AV manufacturer to get it off the false positive list?
I don"t say âpffftâ but with folks having very different results in say Windows Deffender could suggest a hitch hiker affecting a users download maybe?
So if say you install it & get a virus warning & I install it without warning. Then where did your infection come from if it installed clean with both systems using the same Windows & Av both at current update state?
But yes one should be concerned of a virus warning.
Pimax should address this issue, each case is potentially something customer support has to deal with, so it should be in their own interest.
The installation software is signed, man in the middle attacks are extremely difficult unless somebody stole the key and is interspersing their own version when downloads occur. That can be pretty much ruled out, itâs just too complicated but hardly anybody verifies the checksum of the executable and Pimax doesnât provide the checksums.
If itâs not a false positive, most likely an already compromised system is unreliable at identifying threats.
Truth anything possible at this point. Smooth install no problems with Windows Defender.
Spying on your population is just too difficult and can pretty much be ruled out.
Oh, hello Mr Snowden.
Relates a little to âa Chinese Government backed Chinese company wants unfettered access to my pcâŚsure, what could possibly go wrong? (Although I admit weâre no worse off whether NSA or China has all our data.)
People sure are very easy to resort to âillegal attacks are difficultâŚand therefore wonât happenâ. Itâs only the new modern type of humans who donât do difficult.
