Hello, everybody.

Recently I've installed this plugin - Google Desktop for Outlook
Express v1.0.
Now every time computer starts up my antivirus (Symantec SAV 10.0.2)
pops up with warning about trojan found in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\mchInjDrv.sys It quarantines file
successfully but it is recreated upon reboot.
I turned on file access audit and what I found is that it appears that
C:\Program Files\GDS for OE\gdsoe.exe (re)creates this file every start
up.

Now I don't want to accuse plugin writer in any way but I'm really
conserned about this situation.

Does anybod know anything about this?..

There no trojan, or other spyware, just metod to integrated into
Outlook Express are same as trojan or spywayre, because no other way to
integrate, so ignore all things that antivirus show.

Hey, thanks for the answer.
I'm not sure hovever if I can buy into this kind of answer. You see,
it's not that I dont believe you, it's just that my confidence in my
antivirus is more important that a plugin to GDS. So, I don't use this
plugin anymore, sorry.

As you wish, i tell you that have no trojan because i am author of this program,
and using inject techniques to install my plug-in
same trouble have other programs that using madshi code, look url.
