Kill.com

I don't know the process with AVG.  With Avast I had to restore it from the virus chest, then temporarily shut down protection, then generate the MD5 hash, and then restart protection.

I submitted a false positive with Avast.  I encourage you to do the same with AVG. 

For performance reasons it is unlikely that any antivirus actually looks at every byte in a file.  While they don't reveal their secrets, it is probable that they look at a handful of bytes and the total file size to figure out if it is a threat or not.  This Aurora file just happens to match the pattern when it isn't a threat.

Interestingly, I can get the file to pass Antivirus testing if I comment out the lines which shut down the DMX-over-dongle server (the 2009-2011 DMX patch).

I'm just glad this was caught now instead of December; this is the type of thing that usually pops up around then and makes a support nightmare (does anyone happen to remember Windows Update replacing the FTDI drivers right in the middle of the 2009 season?)

I have been dealing with the kill.com problem for a while and mine problem is even worse. Norton Security Suite that Comcast gives free to customers is quarantining Kill.com and the entire Aurora Sequencer and Scheduler software. If I try to open either, there is no file to open with. I have to reopen the original download file that fixes Aurora then open Aurora Sequencer or Scheduler immediately after. Norton thinks its so bad I can't exclude aurora. Hope not to deal with this next year. Adding this to my other problems have been frustrating.
