When I click that, I get absolutely nothing and the On-Line list has never changed since I installed the toolbar.

I think Strail said he didn't do something, but I'm not sure.

i have such a message too from my antivir...

Actually Anti-Vir is not a cheap and tacky Anti-Virus program, it actually has the second best virus detections rates... its just not that well known.

Google AV Comparatives.

But it is most likely to be a false positive.

let me try and explain.

Its the way it works,auto updating [witch is not working becouse data is not pulled from server for sum reason] that triggers the false positive,that antivir thing may think that a temp file using an .exe and auto updating is a virus,becouse thats the way normally trojans works.

But this doent mean that the files on your toolbar are a trojan.

@Recoil

on that site:

  AntiVir PE Premium
Number of false positives       many

aye...its a undesrided action, that the toolbar tries to use...the combo Antivir and Spybot just warns u if a program tries to send a cookie or elsewhat to another computer...thats cosnidered a "viral action" or like this...

but away from that...i am just not able to update the online list...still shows the same day as i installed it :/  2008/05/12

Thats for november 2007, 6 months ago. It has changed, it has recently been upgraded to version 8.

Like i said before, it is probably a false positive.

[rozovo]

So it is rly an AntiVir issue.

Thank you guys for the attention and the explanation  :)

 @SeLzAm - Same problem here.

To update the players online list, it has to run an internal exe in the toolbar, this is what triggers the AV. If you agree its a virus or trojan then the file will be deleted and therefore the functionality of online players is removed. Thats why it wont work if you allow your av to delete it.

There is no trojan or such in the toolbar. As I have said before, if you have AV that triggers this and your worried, dont use it. Simple.

I have AVG and have trojan remover at startup - I dont have any problems and you should keep in mind that the the value of AV progs are now based on how many times they can alert & worry you rather than their effectiveness.

I have better things to do than load toolbars with trojans.
