security risk - egatherer

#1 Post by beerak » Sun Mar 13, 2005 3:57 pm

Hi,

I performed Symantec test and it identified:

C:\IBMTOOLS\APPS\ACCESS\TEMP\ACPCON~1.DLL is infected with SecurityRisk.eGatherer

as eGatherer and reffered to this link:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-54588

Does anyone hear about this ? :shock:

wtf ? Does that update touch service partition or it updates only and only Windows ? :shock:
Let's go'n'restart :-)

Install Access Support fix pack 2 from that link.

It will not affect your recovery partition.

:idea: Of course if you ever restore your drive you will need to install the patch again so you may want to keep it on a CD unless you have a good memory..

It's a false positive. You can ignore it. I set NAV to disregard the message and all is well.
