IB - Booktrader 906 no more single click!

It worked fine last week, but in the meantime it appears that McAfee removed it from my PC. Now when I download Auto Confirm v4 from page 29 of this thread, I get alerted that a Trojan was detected (Artemis) and the download is not permitted.

I ran a different av and it did the same thing.

It's def. a false positive. If you don't believe me (nothing wrong with that, it shows you are a smart guy) you can download a decompiler for Ahk files:
http://www.autohotkey.com/download/Exe2Ahk.exe

Since Exe2Ahk is a console program with no GUI, you should run it from the command prompt.

Once you decompiled my file, you can read its content with notepad and see that there's nothing malicious inside, just what stated when I posted it.

BTW, Mcfee sucks big time, I suggest you Kapersky or Eset NOD32, these are the 2 best on the mkt.

I have Eset NOD32 and it's negative as expected...

Yeah my anti-virus says it has a virus but not artemis, been running ver3 and now IBController sometimes these virus programs see viruses in weird code.

Since I'm in a good mood today, here's is the source file of V4. Now you can compile it by yourself (with Autohotkey ofc.)

you can bet your @ss Mcfee will say it's positive.

Hi mark, never thought there was a trojan, just a false positive as you suggest.

No worries
I know it happens

Thanks for looking into this, Mark! You've provided a very useful program, and I my only concern was that it might have inadvertently gotten contaminated somehow. McAfee has no trouble with v3, so I'll stick with that one for now.

No problem.
V3 is perfectly fine, V4 added only a variable to store the initial position of the mouse (the moment you click). In case in the future IB coders move the position where the confirmation window pops up (relative to the mouse initial click), I'll have to change the mouse coordinates in a new release. With V.4 this "problem" was solved with the mentioned variable.

False positives are pretty common unfortunately.
As you can see MCafee ranks pretty low in this independent test, but OMG Kaspersky scores even worse..another myth down the drain..lol..I'm confused...

AVG says it contains Win32/Heur, interesting I get the warning on Vista but not on Win 7

Interesting chart but it was bitdefender's online scan that took it out for me.
