The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there
I installed VLC just now on my new laptop and my Kaspersky antivirus indicates that the C:\PROGRAM FILES\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\libi422_yuy2_sse2_plugin.dll is a security threat and is a Trojan program (Trojan.Win32.Monder.gen)

Can anybody let me know what is going on and what to do about it??
Thanks!

Your antivirus is wrong.

Try to update it.

As of yesterday, ClamWin is finding Trojan.Monder-136 in the libi422_yuy2_sse2_plugin.dll.

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\libi422_yuy2_sse2_plugin.dll: Trojan.Monder-136 FOUND

VLC is latest version. Says "VLC media player 1.0.5 Goldeneye" in About box. Running on fresh install of Windows XP Pro (US/English/SP3). All plug-ins in the C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins folder have a modification date of 1/30/2010 4:27 PM according to Windows. Time is CST (GMT -06:00).

ClamWin is 0.95.3 with latest defintions.

Here is another user reporting the same thing:

I checked the file as instructed on the clamwin website at virustotal.com and got the following report so it looks like a false positve although make up your own mind.

Only 3 out of 41 virus checkers pick this file up. I've submitted it to clamwin as a false positive.
