libeay32.dll detected as virus?

peciot

Hi Guys,

when I try to install 1Password for Windows 1.06.202 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit my antivirus Microworld Escan 10 detect teh file libeay32.dll as a virus and deletes them! I attached a screenshot of the log file.



How can I fix this? Is this really a virus?



Thank you very much!!

libeay32.dll is a OpenSSL library, responsible for HTTPS communications. It is not infected with a virus. Your anti-virus "solution" is detecting a false positive.

Alex, you just need to let your antivirus software know that that file is safe (as Stefan explains).

Ok, I added the 1Password folder as an exception and now it works fine!

Good to hear, peciot! But [url="http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/libeay32/21558/"]don't take our word for it[/url]. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />



Depending on what antivirus software you are using, updating to the latest virus definitions may help avoid warnings like this in the future.

Thank you Brenty!

I updated my antivirus to the latest version and to the latest definitions, but if I don't add the 1Password folder as an exception, 1Password dont't work properly. The program every time says that I have to insert my license. I do it and every time it asks me again.

Altought, if I set the folder as an exception it works fine.



I've sent an e-mail to the developer of my corporate antivirus explaining the problem; I hope in an answer.



Thank you!
