நண்பர்களே,

Though I downloaded NHM software a month ago, i had been using it only for the past 2 days.

.Suddenly during a scan , trojan virus was found in NHM software and been disabled.(Kaspersky anti virus software was installed in my computer)

If i try to install it (after redownloading freshly)  the following message appears

The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain anew copy of the program

i have been trying , but all my efforts are in vain

I had been using NHM Writer for several years now.
 
Suddenly a couple of days back it failed to work, for no reason at all. I uninstalled and tried to reinstal. But, unable to do. It refuses to remove some of the files used by the software saying that they are being used by some other applications, which in fact is not true.
 
So, the old one is not working and the new installation is not possible. I am at a loss.
 
Can someone help!

I had been using NHM Writer for several years now.
 
Suddenly a couple of days back it failed to work, for no reason at all. I uninstalled and tried to reinstal. But, unable to do. It refuses to remove some of the files used by the software saying that they are being used by some other applications, which in fact is not true.
 

It happened with me this morning and that is why I am writing in English.  I have installed NHM in my brother's computer, from where I am operating now.  When I booted the machine this morning, I noticed the system tray icon of Kaspersky Antivirus has a different look.  This is something that I do everyday, at boot and sometimes in between.  I checked up and noticed that NHM Writer's executable file is affected by some trojan and that it could not be removed, whatever the trick you adopt.  I used the system restore utility of Windows 7 which has a 'Check for Malicious programs' option.  And this check also pointed to NHM Writer's executable file. 

Kaspersky has long been notifying that NHM is of doubtful behaviour, and is sending data from the machine.  I have been ignoring this all these years, under the impression that this is another barking at the wrong tree by an Antivirus.  But now, I have serious doubts.  Unable to rectify or remove the affected file, I used System Restore and rebooted the machine.  Now, the System Tray has the Bell icon of NHM.  But no matter how much I try, it refuses to type in Tamil, though I have used the keyboard shortcut as well as the mouse-click options. 
 
I guess Badri needs to be sounded on this.  Does NHM Writer come with an inbuilt trojan or data miner, or is it a mere accident?  It has happened with two other memebers in the group.  Kaspersky has been terming NHM as a Trusted Item, as defined by the user all these days.  And I have been telling Kaspersky notifications to treat it as Trusted.  Can I continue to trust?  I am marking a copy to Badri.

ஹரிகி,

NHM Writer வந்த புதிதிலும் இதே மாதிரி சொல்லி பிளாக்குகள் வந்ததாக ஞாபகம். உங்களின் கணினியில் Kaspersky காட்டும் தகவல்களை இங்கே இடமுடியுமா? ஒரு நிரலியில் ட்ரோஜன் இருக்கா இல்லையா என பார்ப்பது எளிது என்றே நினைக்கிறேன்.

மேலும் இந்த ட்ரோஜன் NHM Writer ல் இருக்கும் ஏதேனும் பின் வழியை பயன்படுத்தி கூட உள்ளே நுழைந்திருக்கலாம். இந்த மாதிரி உத்தி வழக்கமாக எல்லா நிரலிகளிலும் IE உட்பட நடக்கின்றது.

Those who use AVG, Norton and other antiviruses have no problems. I can tell you that NHM Writer does not send any data out of your machine to anywhere, which can easily be tested, by looking at ports and connections made. However, it is up to those of you whether you should trust NHM Writer or not.

In the meantime, we will try to find what the problem is with Kaspersky and try to fix it.

You have the choice of working with other input method programs such as e-kalappai, Murasu etc. Of course, you also have the choice of not using Kaspersky and using Norton and AVG etc. :-)


Thanks a lot Badri for your patience.  I was concerned because three of us have reported problem.  And at least two of us (me and Madhu) have Kaspersky.

I wanted to keep you informed of the situation.  Not that I do not trust NHM.  I prefer using NHM over the many other alternatives.  I will rather stay than moving away.  That's why I sent the mail.  Else, I would have chosen the old Kalappai back.  No.  I wouldn't do that because this is a lot more convenient, adoptable and a very useful tool.  My apologies if my last lines sounded harsh.

I am also using Kapersky.    I was getting the message repeatedly.  I could not work further.  So I removed NHM.
 
I will wait till the horoscopes of Kapersky and NHM go together. 
 
As Hariki said, NHM was very convenient and adoptable.

It seems that 
Kaspersky has an issue in removing those Trojans or it is an false positive(alerting when there is no issue). If you could post the name of trojan or screenshots of the error message, it is easier to find a solution for this.

As far as Trojans are concerned they are not very serious threats.  Even after getting the warning I continue to use unless and until I get into a serious problem.  As a knee jerk reaction many tend to uninstall the NHM without a total cleanup of the software including the registry.  When I saw the problem horoscope matching and I thought of you. Here you are with the same problem.  Welcome

Yes. You are right.  It is not possible to get the notifications of Kaspersky either as screen short or text, because the Notification is displayed in system tray for a couple of seconds and off it goes before one could read it fully.

There is no need to uninstall NHM Writer.  I have found a simple solution.  If you are using Kaspersky 2011, double click on System Tray Icon, open the Scan Tab.  At the centre bottom you have a circle with an arrow, 'To test an individual object, drag it here or browse it'.  Browse it is not of much help because it opens only the C:\ drive.  Therefore
 
1) Resize Kaspersky to less than half a screen and keep it on one side.
2) Go to My Computer (If you use XP) or Computer (if you use Windows 7) open C:\ drive and the Program Files Folder.  You will find the NHM Writer sub-folder.  Open it and the NHM Writer executable file is seen there.  Have this window also resized to less than half the screen and keep it on the other side.
3) Drag the NHM Writer exe file and drop it on the Test area
 
Now, the test is carried out and the problem is fixed.  Kaspersky no more reports trojan blah blah.
 
If you are using Kaspersky 2010, I forget the settings. Anyway, I remember this much.  Look for Safe Run tab.  And when you find it, drag and drop the exe file in the Sandbox.  That would solve it. 
 
But then, now I have overcome the problem of Kaspersky's false alarm.  NHM seems to have got offened (like Badri :D) and is still not writing Tamil.  Anyway, I will be back in home tomorrow.  Do further research and come out with solutions. 
 
Though the names of the Trojans could not be read, I am attaching herewith a screen shot done with the Snipping Tool, from the Report Log of Kaspersky.
 
Hope this helps.

It seems that trojan-spy.win32.delf.ker is keylogger malware. Either the system needs scanned with a another anti virus program or we need to wait until 
Kaspersky guys says some word. 

I've searched in 
Kaspersky forums, there is no mention of this keylogger being a false positive, though there are cases 
Kaspersky gives false warnings.

After all, all the notifications that we are getting are pre-written texts, mostly chosen from the nearest possible and available text that is embedded in the programme. Therefore, all the notifications need not be read word for word and need not mean every word of the text.  When a notification is displayed (and that includes Windows itself) what it signifies is that we are in a near possible situation.  The exact situation may or may not be the same as displayed in the text.  And it is due to this fact that I have on earlier occasions added NHM to Trusted list. 

In the present circumstances, Kaspersky is the only viable, affordable and almost effective software.  I have been using Norton for several years prior to migration to Kaspersky.  A three user licene, a simple Internet Protection version (without protection for online trading activities) costs Rs.2,700 and a single user licence is around Rs.1300.  Compare this with Rs.600 per three user licence of Kaspersky.  Can one afford shelling out around Rs.3000 every year for Norton?  Added to this, Norton slows down the start up process, which Kaspersky does not. 
 
Out of the many anti virus softwares I have used, including Dr Solmon's, McAffee, Norton, K7 et al, K7 used to affordable and was indeed an excellent anti virus.  In fact, in the year 2000 Deepavali, when Satyam sent a Deepavali greetings to all its subscribers, which contained all the e-mail addresses of all the subscribers, someone from Andhra used the Reply All option and sent 13 dfifferent virus programmes to all users.  And when the affected user sent a mail to his friend, the virus spread to the other person, who is not a Satyam user.  The problem spread to Singapore.  At that time I was with ChennaiOnline and three of the seven servers were seriously affected due to this problem.  K7 swung into action and fixed it all in a remarkably short time.  But then, the cost of K7 has also gone up beyond reach. 
 
The reason why we stay with Kaspersky is its cost effectiveness, and utility.  Almost as effective as Norton, but much faster.  Norton would make the machine stumble, if you run a system scan.  I have checked this with Task Manager while it runs.  Almost 99% of the RAM would be in use at that time, thus disabling the user from accessing other files for about a couple of hours till the check is completed.  Kaspersky takes about 60-70% and though  the machine gets slow during the Virus scan, you still are able to work.
 
Now that NHM has taken it up with Kaspersky, let's hope for better times.

No.  That definitely is not the case.  If you observe, all the persons who have reported the problem are Kaspersky users.  Badri has explained the problem with Kaspersky, which wrongly detects NHM as a trojan.  He has explained the technicalities involved too.

We are getting all reports from Min Tamil members, because this is Min Tamil group and only its members can post mails.  All those who have reported are Min Tamil members+Kaspersky users.  Therefore, the conclusion is not correct.
 
On the lighter side, a joke.  A Statistical analysis read like this: A survey was conducted in the Cancer Institue.  Of the 3858 cancer patients, 2923 were riding motorcycles and the rest had scooters.  Therefore, it is apparent that motor cycle riders are more prone to cancer than scooter riders.  If you ride a car, you will not get cancer!

One problem with Kaspersky may be fonts. If it can't correctly read
Tamil fonts , it gets suspicious and raises alarms.

You need to remove the trojen from system. I think Kaspersky should have an option for that. Then try to install NHM. If you use NHM or keyman etc control of the keyboard will change to that software instead of native Windows. So keylogger trojens will try to take control of that software too. I guess that may be the case here. 

Is it a coincidence that all Kaspersky users+NHM users are affected by this trojen? or is it Nortan/Mcafee is not checking for this trojen?

I installed Arumbu and again it gave trouble.
My Assistant installed Arumbu in D Drive instead of C Drive and it works wonderfully now.
 
I think NHM can work like this. 
 
I am not an expert in these things. One thing i guess is that NHM or Arumbu will not work on the same drive where Kapersky is also installed.
 
I may be wrong too, as it happen often.

கடந்த சுமார் ஓராண்டாக என் ஹெச் எம் மென்பொருள் பயன்படுத்தி வருகிறேன்.
அவ்வப்போது இம்மாதிரி தொல்லை தரும்தான். இப்போதும் இரண்டு நாட்களாகச்
செயல்படவில்லை. பலருக்கும் இம்மாதிரி என்பது இப்போது புரிகிறது.

'எபிக்' உலாவியை நான் பயன்படுத்துவதால், அதில் பல மொழிகளுக்கான
தேர்வுரிமை (option) ஒவ்வொரு முறை உள்ளீடு செய்யும்போதும் தானாகக்
கிடைக்கிறது. நாமாகத் தேடவேண்டியதில்லை. ஆகவே ஓரளவு சுலபம்.

மேலும், 'எபிக்' உலாவியில் 'Write' என்ற பெயரில் word processor
முன்னிருப்பாக (default), உலாவியின் ஒரு அம்சமாகக் கிடைக்கிறது. அதிலும்
'எபிக்'கின் மற்ற இடங்களைப் போலத் தமிழ் உட்பட பல்வேறு மொழிகளுக்குமான
தேர்வுரிமை (option) தானாகக் கிடைக்கிறது. அதில் தட்டச்சு செய்து வேறு
எங்கு வேண்டுமானாலும் வெட்டி/ஒட்டிக்கொள்ளலாம்.

மற்றபடி, பத்ரி கூறி யிருப்பதைப் போல காத்திருப்போம்.

அன்புடன்,

From the perspective of an anti-malware software, any software that
intercepts keystrokes is potentially a keyboard logger. Weather
NHMwriter communicates what it captures back to another server is what
is going to determine if it is truly a trojan. And it is often
difficult to determine because most software would get back to their
home server to check for updates and when they do, they may send
information about the software version that is already installed.
Nothing prevents the software from sending coded or encrypted data
back to the server. Thus, unless a software is determined to be a
clean software, most anti-malware would take a conservative approach
and tag such keyboard drivers as keyboard logger trojans, particularly
if the methods to intercept keystrokes are similar. I suspect that,
perhaps that is what is triggering these alerts.

When I first installed NHMwriter, Norton did alert me that it appears
to be a keylogger but I chose to override that alert. The Norton
Insight technology now appears to trust NHMWriter because of hundreds
of Norton users are using it and certain other parameters also
indicate that it is a good file. During the time Norton monitored
this software, it doesn't appear to have done anything suspicious.
While it has not cleared the high bar of being "Norton Trusted", it is
a safe software to use.

I would like Hari and other users to try out Norton products to see
for themselves its performance. We have done a lot to make it really
lean on your system resources. And its file reputation technology is
designed to prevent false positives such as the ones that you are
currently encountering. The large installed base of users forming

Dear Mani,

Thank you for the mail.  I started using computers in the year 1987 and the need for Anti virus was first felt may be in 1991 or 92.  The earlier verses like Ping pong ball (is the name right?) *Say happy birthday to...... (some Rao)' etc. were harmless.  Cookie virus was funny.  One has to type the word Cookie, whenever it asks Give me a Cookie.  Then the DOS viruses picked up viciousness.  My first nightmare was Eddie lives somewhere in time (I faintly recall the name as Eddie).  I was shocked to see portions of my Wordstar files appearing inside the fields of my Dbase files.  It was then that I asked my systems department to install antivirus.  It must have been Nov/Dec 1992.  Since then, in every office I worked, I have been the first person to fight for the purchase of Antivirus and those days, I would go with an update floppy in hand and ensure that every machine gets updated, because that was a time when networking was not yet prevalent in our offices.  

Therefore, I have used almost every brand of Anti Virus, including Quick Heal, K7 and other Indian versions.  Of all these Norton has been my favourite since 1998.  I would ensure that Norton and Norton alone is purchased in the Office (after Dr Solomn's and McAffee were pronounced dead).  When I was working for an organisation, naturally, I could get a copy for my home use and therefore there was no problem.  But.  After I took VR in 2005 and migrated to Bangalore, I had been purchasing Norton till 2008.  It was only then the cost factor started burning my pocket.  It is extraordinarily expensive. To a person like me, who opted out from Private service, not NIL saving, or retirement benefit, and to one who considers it below dignity to get money from son for my personal expenses, Norton has become awfully costly.  That is why I chose Kaspersky.  Cost factor. 

It is like the difference between Chennai Auto driver and Bangalore Auto driver.  Chennai Auto driver would make a single day's earning in a maximum of five trips, charge atrociously high amounts from the commuter, and then after about a four or five hours of driving, give the auto to his friend, go to a bar and drink and lie on the road.  The Bangalore auto drivers accept even short distance trips, keep driving their Autos as long as they can everyday, return the balance of even 50 paise to the commuter and keep working his everyday routine.  He makes money from volume.  Chennai Auto driver believes in making his day's earnings from five or six commuters a day.  

I am sorry for this comparison.  But, to my mind Norton is adopting a Chennai Auto driver attitude.  If you make the product available for say 600 or even 700, nobody is going to say no to Norton.  1500-2300 is pretty too much for people like me.  I am afraid that I am hurting the feelings of a good friend.  But then, if I cannot tell this plain fact point-blank to a person who is at the right place, occupying the right chair, I would not be doing justice to users like me.  Why don't you bring out a lighter version that does not cost this much?  

That is one part.  The other part is the Startup time.  My system takes flat 50 seconds from the time I press the switch, till the time all the system tray executables come and sit in their places and the machine is ready to be used.  Try this with Norton.  It is not possible to boot in less than 3 minutes.  (Of course, in the initial days of installation, the boot time would be lesser.  With the passage of time, it bites into the patience of the user.)  This is problem number two that you have to address.

If these issues could be sorted out, who will say no to Norton?  If you observe, the number of Kaspersky users seems to be rather higher than I expected.  I never thought that it could have picked up the market so soon and would have become this popular a product within such a short space of time.  Norton is in the market, at least for about 15 years (may be more).  Then, why is it that it is not so widely used?  Why should people like me with brand loyalty to Norton cross the floor?

Think from the user's angle.  And you will see the real situation.  Norton should necessarily come out with a lighter version.  (If I may quote the case of Rin, Surf etc. there was a time--in the early 90s--that Rin costed Rs.80/- per Kg.  Surf costed about Rs.5 more.  Then the market stumbled.  Rin and Surf changed the packing, shape and size and to an extent the colour too, and started advertising 'sirf pachees rupye' Only Twenty five Rupees.  They reduced from 80 to 25 and spent on advertising that fact!  And now you know what happened to the market.)

I apologise for being direct and may be a little hard hitting, thought I did not intend it.  I hope you will understand the spirit behind my mail.

The price of a product is definitely important consideration.
Kaspersky has won admiration for it's quality and is also cheap. In
fact, some free anti-virus software have also won much praise. There
is no linear relationship between quality and price.

Though AVG and Avira (or some such name) are free anti viruses, I would prefer not to use them.  Because there is no free lunch in the world.  You never know what kind of a virus that Anti Virus would be triggering from behind.  :))

I started my career with IBM CAM accounting machine in 1969 and moved through a forest of IBM Machines.  Later I had the opportunity to work with mini computers.  Up to this point of time there wan no virus either spoken or practiced.  When the micro computers came into the market and micro computer software were developed the logic gave way to magic.  When micro porcessors were developed there was a need to address the technical riddle of starting the computer.
The technical solution was based on the fantasy created by Baron Munchhausen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_M%C3%BCnchhausen
the boot strapping idea was borrowed from him and the booting programme was placed on the zero sector of the disk which gave way to the mushrooming of virus.  I remember the contribution of Pakistani doctor brothers who first developed the anti-virus software and in order to do business they started spreading the virus programs.
The zero sector is open and so tempting that many programers spend hours to develop a virus and spread them.  If we assume that in Tamilnadu there are 5 lakh students are in the Engineering Colleges sizable number will be seriously and sincerely working on the virus development.
They are the main sponsors for the anti-virus companies to mint millions.
In 1980 for the first time when I started using the PC with Windows they were very suspicious about my activities and labelled as Mr.Virus.  In order to scare them I joined one virus research institute of London and displayed many virus message such as a program of falling letterer and if you press a key your PC will explode.
Now it has become a rat race between the virus injectors and virus healers. 
Whatever said and done now I simply lost the Tamil software. 
Again anti-virus programs are based on magic and logic.  They do whatever they feel it is good according their reasoning and in front of my very eyes Kaspersky removed two .DLL files as virus.

Vijayaraghavan


Yes Mr Vijayaraghavan, I agree with you, I am a cynic, on this particular issue.  And it takes some courage to accept that one is a cynic, which I guess you will agree with me.  

While making the above statement, could you notice a tinge of.......?  The old saying is: All generalised statements are always dangerous including this one.

Anyway, I have accepted that I am a cynic as far as this issue is concerned.  And I prefer to confine that statement to myself.  Realisation is a result of self-pursuit.  :)

I was not willing to go back to kalappai, though I was one among the person's who helped with the Tamil Typewriter Keyboard layout, and suggested corrections in the original programme.  NHM has really pampered me.  I was waiting to hear the good news from NHM.  And it has alt last arrived.  I am copy pasting a mail from Sri Nagarajan, the main brain behind the Writer and Converter.  Though he has marked a copy to MinTamil, I am not sure if he is a member of the group and earlier their mails to the group have bounced and forwarded by me.  Let's now read the good news:

Dear Hari,

In this forum, I am just your friend. I am not an official spokesman
of Symantec and what I write about the Norton products that we develop
is my personal opinion only.

That said, I am proud of the products we develop. Norton is sweeping
all the awards and benchmark results because Symantec listens to its
customers. Feedback from customers, former, present and future, are
vital to our success and I appreciate your frank response here. Thanks
for having confidence in me to express to share your frank opinions in
a public forum. I'd still insist that you tryout the latest versions
that have been topping the charts in performance and protection.

As you can see from the PC Magazine Review of NIS 2009 product ( see
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2330024,00.asp) our performance
has been impressive. In that test Norton added a mere 15 seconds to
the boot process, far less than the 3 minutes that you had
experienced. The NIS 2010 product and the subsequent releases are
building on top of that tradition. Try it for yourself.

I will discuss your comments on pricing and your desire for a lighter
version for India market at a lower price point with the India
Marketing team. I would like to follow up with you directly to seek
further details on your observations.

I am also glad to note that our competitor's diagnosis on NHMWriter
turned out to be a false positive, just as I had anticipated and as
confirmed by Norton.

In this business, we seldom gloat at the misery of our competitors.
It is usually a "there but for the grace of God go I" type of relief
combined with an attempt to learn from the mistakes of others to make
sure that our processes are not vulnerable to that kind of error. But
we strive very hard to keep our competitive edge in technology as
befits the World's Number One security software company.

Mani M. Manivannan

அவிரா (Avira Antivir) ம் NHM ஐ வைரஸ் எனக்கூறி விட்டது. இத்தனைக்கும் அதை நான் தரையிரக்கம் மட்டும் தான் செய்தேன். நிறுவக்கூட இல்லை..

வணக்கம் ஐயா

அவிரா இணையம் மூலம் நானும் வைரஸ் இருக்கிறதா எனப்பார்த்தேன். 

NHM தளத்தில் இருந்து புதிதாக தரையிரக்கம் செய்யததை வைரஸ் இல்லை எனச்சொல்லிவிட்டது. 

ஆனால்

ஏற்கெனவே தரையிரக்கி வத்திருந்ததை (same version) மால்வேர் என உறுதி செய்துள்ளது. 

அவிரா அதை ஏற்கெனவே quarantine ல் பெயர் மாற்றி வைத்திருந்தததால் அதை மீண்டும் அவிரா தளத்தில் சோதித்த போது வைரஸை உறதி செய்துள்ளது. 

அதாவது முன்பு தளத்தில் இருந்த கோப்பி்ல் வைரஸ் இருந்துள்ளது. தற்போது அது நீக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. 


அவிராவின் report மடலை கீழே கொடுத்துள்ளேன்.

Go to this url and download the exe file and then install it in your computer. 

You can also try Kural Tamil Cheyali from www.kuralsoft.com

If you need to use other languages besides Tamil, NHM Writer is the choice.
