      As soon as I updated to the most recent version, my anti-virus McAfee Total Protection automatically detected honorbuddy.exe as a trojan and auto-deletes it. Any suggestions?

      Don't have a Virus scanner but after updating my .exe was gone too. After adding a .exe from a other folder it asks to update again.

      i just downloaded the update zip from this url

      http://updates.buddyauth.com/GetNewest?filter=Honorbuddy

      when i opened up the 232 KB Honorbuddy.exe a 16 KB file was put into the following directory

      C:\Windows\Installer

      this file is called AMDEx3.msi and it is a trojan my av caught it

      after this had happened the Honorbuddy.exe was changed to the file size of 6.37 MB

      you can reproduce this over and over by deleting the AMDex.msi and unzipping a fresh copy of the honor buddy and running the honorbuddy exe, each time the honorbuddy will change file size from 232 KB to 6.37 MB so it will only happen once each time you unzip the update

      this file is comming from the honorbuddy team for what reason i have no idea but you your self can watch it happen

      1: dl honorbuddy zip from http://updates.buddyauth.com/GetNewest?filter=Honorbuddy

      2: open the following directory C:\Windows\Installer it is hidden so you can copy paste "C:\Windows\Installer" into the top of the window to see it

      3: run the honorbuddy exe in the freshly extracted zip and watch the file show up

      4: watch the honorbuddy team say its not their file and delete/close this thread and wonder why ??

      maybe it is not because of wrong done work?
      maybe it is because update server was hacked again ;) (maybe!!! no official statement anywhere atm, so it is only speculation!)

      for those who updated to 639 (which is the problematic build) delete it and scan your machine

      So what's going on?
      Did you guys add some clever code to the program, which triggers each and every virus scanner, or is it (yet another!) hack/intrusion?

      Some explanation would be in order here, I suppose ..
