Yes, of course you're correct. But I downloaded the original update file some months ago and AVG7 has only just reported the infection. I downloaded the same file again just a few minutes ago to make a comparision and to rule out any possibility that the infection originated from my pc.

It looks ...

I have just identified the actual file in the archive that is supposedly infected.
It is inside the file UpdateTool.exe

Also, I have just downloaded the same update .zip file again from the main site and AVG7 still reports that the file is infected.

Weird or what?

Another bizzare thing is that if you type in...

Generic10.YQD trojan

or

Generic10.YQD virus

into google, it returns no results what-so-ever.????? The trojan doesnt seem to be documented at all.

There are some strange goings on over at AVG thats for sure.

EDIT:

Trojan horse in Purebasic 4.10 zip file?

Hello folks.

I dont want to alarm people around here but I just ran a virus scan (AVG 7.0) and it reported that the Purebasic update file:-

" PureBasic_Update_4_10_(g7pt3j).zip " contains a trojan horse called Generic10.YQD

I did download it from the official site. It is unlikely that it was ...

Hello Trond.

I am sorry if I didn't explain things clearly. I am using the FileSeek function to move through a file in a random access kind of way and it would make things difficult for me if I put each field on its own line in a file. (CR's to worry about)

I don't need to use LEN at all because ...

Thanks Thalius....

I already sussed it just after I posted it. I tried the LEN command earlier as you suggest above but I couldn't get it to work.

Instead I used the SizeOf function which appears to work on the specific fields as well as the whole structure


Student_Array(0)\Fornames.s = "Andrew ...

I have a structure of fixed length strings that I am putting inside an array. My problem is that I cannot find a way to get the length of a specific field within the structure once it has been created.

I am ...

I second that. I have already e-mailed this request to Fred.

I think what is required is a GET & PUT command to read and create records in a file. The FileSeek command could be used as an index to the pointer in the file. Or maybe even a RECORDSEEK command to jump from record to record withough ...

@Brice Manuel....

No, I don't think so. I looked at PureBASIC when it first came out but only recently did I look at it again.
