Hi!

I needet to find out where the homepage of FSG, a great packer was. I searched google. I stumpled over PestPatrols home page, wich says that FSG, UPX and a lot of other wide used good and NOT-EVIL packers was used to pack trojans, saying pets-patrol removes and finds them.
Which kind of people use software that does this?
Saving a lot of diskspace is a pest, for hardware sellers....
Whatever..

My F-Prot has also a problem with FSG, and some time ago some anti-virus software claimed that UPX-Packed EXE's were infected.
I use UPX and then UPX-Scrambler, so antivirus software does not recognize the UPX signature (and does not trigger false alarm).
