Coincidence? I did what you or anybody else would: I blocked it. It was trying not only to manipulate or terminate another process, but targeting precisely my antivirus, which is typical to malware. Target: C:\program files (x86)\f-secure\fshoster32.exe” “DeepGuard has noticed that an application is trying to manipulate or terminate another process, which is potentially dangerous. Then I tried at MajorGeeks website and I got it, but when I tried to install it (after uninstalling the old one) my F-Secure Internet Security alerted me about it this way: I was going to uninstall it again and install the newest version to see what happened, so I tried to download the latest version, first, directly from its own homepage, but I couldn’t something went wrong (rarely, because it didn’t happen while downloading anything else before). The next day it was there again! It wasn’t only a shortcut, it was in Program Files (x86) again and it was working! It (downloaded? and) re-installed by itself! The worse thing was that it wasn’t even the latest version but the same old one that I uninstalled the night before. One night I clicked my Windows Start and surprise! its icon was there! I clicked on “all programs” and yes! it was listed there! I went to “Program Files (x86) and yes! it was there too! It didn’t seem to me to be tied somehow to another program as part of it, so I took my chances and used my Revo Uninstaller to kick it out (at last!). Since I never have downloaded SumatraPDF (I didn’t even know it existed) when my Secunia 2.00 started showing it long, long time ago but I couldn’t find it anywhere in my computer, I worried because I didn’t know if it was a part of a program (so I shouldn’t uninstall it) or if it was some kind of malware disguised as a program.Īccording to Secunia 3.0 (the new version), it is always updating without (never) completing the process nor letting me do it manually, so it is a security weak point in my computer (permanently out of date/unpatched). The following should be addressed to the producer(s) of SumatraPDF Reader, but since they don’t seem to be interested in keeping in touch with the users of his/their product (the main con of whatever is free) I’ll really appreciate this forum’s members help.
