Default What to do?

About 5 minutes ago AVG has just put my "1st Mass Mailer" application into the virus vault. Is says "Trojan horse SpamTool.BSD" and the path is the exe file for 1st Mass Mailer. This has never happened before and today we are sending our monthly newsletter out to all our subscribers. Murphy's Law......

I cannot open the application.

There is too many different categories of clients to do a reinstall of the software.

Can anyone tell me if I should just restore from the virus vault. Maybe todays AVG update has a new tool which is marking this program as a virus now.

This is very important to be resolved very soon to maintain our company's image.

It's safe to restore it from vault. It recognises your application as a spam bot- a bot that spams mails. That's reasonable because that's the way spammers spam.
All in all, just restore it from vault and do your job.
Oh and, why are you using Safari Internet browser? That's unsecure.

I just started to use Safari about 2 months ago I think, because Internet Explorer always disconnects my net connection. I tried Firefox but totally hate the look and feel of it. I havent had any troubles with Safari so far except for some flash not working.

I still use IE when banking, venturing to unknown sites and also googling.

I use Safari for Facebook, Youtube and Hotmail as they are the 3 main sites I use and are the main sites that IE disconnects my internet from for some unknown reason.

I am getting this message below when I try to open the restored file which also doesnt have the application logo anymore.

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

When I double click I also get AVG saying its a virus again and trying to send it to vault.

There is only 1 account and it is the admin account.

Hmm I may be rusty or something, but I can't find anything bad in your log and that error code certainly hides a virus.
Have you used the massive mail application before? It seems that it really contains a virus and you should delete the file ( if neceserry, in safe mode ).
Maybe you could find some application that fits your needs but does't contain any malware.

Ok I solved problem.

It gave me the ....'s after my computer wouldnt do a restore 6 times. I wiped the infected object and then from another computer in the office I copy pasted the exe file of that machine, since we have individual register codes it saved me finding the disc, finding my receipt with serial, and the pain of a full reinstall and import of my backup contacts.

So yes it must have been a virus that has slipped through and attacked my mailer. Very strange but problem solved. No need to repost a log.

Thanks

By the way I have had this mailer for nearly 2yrs now.
