JeGX's Infamous Lab

Posts Tagged ‘furmark’

Some users have reported that FurMark 1.4.0 has the Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.vpx. I did this morning the scan with the latest version of Kaspersky and the very latest version of their database. Kaspersky hasn’t found any threat or trojan in FurMark setup installer nor in FurMark root directory. FurMark is clean. MajorGeeks and Softpedia are very good proofs of FurMark’s cleanness.

I did some searches over the Net and I found that others users have some false alarms. I guess the problem comes from the InnoSetup (the utility used to create FurMark_Setup.exe) and depends of the version of Kaspersky’s database. So if you have Kaspersky antivirus, be sure to update it with the latest database.

I sent FurMark_Setup.exe to Kaspersky Lab and I just receive the reply from the Virus Analyst:
”I suppose it WAS a false alarm, and it has been already fixed.”
This time everything is ok!

I found this thread on [H]ard|Forum where we can read this:

“That fur demo is known to get cards the hottest, it is also known for smoking cards as well (it was the last thing run for a number of people on the extremesystems forums).”

I knew FurMark was good for heating the graphics cards up but I didn’t know it’s also good to really kill them. I feel the summer will be hot for some graphics cards…
