Free Commander - trojan?

[Mahatma Kote]

I d'loaded and installed Free Commander 2007.05a and Spyware Doctor
(free 90 day trial) tells me it has found Trojan.Popuper in file
fcSFJ.bin.

Anyone else had this or heard of it?

Daddy;

I don't know about either proggie however ...

1) Free Commander, and its author Marek Jasinski, are both
well-established entities. AS LONG AS you d/l'd the software from
<www.freecommander.com>, chances of it containing malware are extremely
small: that is, negligible.

2) Any and every anti-malware proggie out there has a mechanism for
confirming a malware hit. Often, it's a forum or an email address, or
some kind of form-submission page. When you get a hit like this, it's
on you to contact the malware authors for confirmation. It's on the
them to get back to you ASAP *and* update their dbase, algorithm,
whatever. If the malware authors are slow to respond, I strongly urge
you to find a replacement.

Sorry I couldn't provide you w/the "the" answer but ...

Free commanderis wickedy whack. You need SUPERAntiSpyware. It will not
only find it but remove it. SAS offers a free version and paid
version. Both work equally well. The paid version is actively scanning
and self-updating. The free version is not. They will both find and
remove EVERYTHING!
