I'm not going to tell you that everything is OK; I'm certainly not expert enough in these matters to do so. Caution is probably wise. At the same time, you should consider that there's a good chance this is nothing more than another false positive.
Ya i see win32 is not a virus its just part of what they might call some software. Its the rest of the label after it that says if its a virus or not. Ya its true it was on daily I will leave a link to the article but I don't think we are allowed to leave links on here. U could be right its just false positive but I don't like turning off my anti virus.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...oker-scam.html That is the link to the article on a virus that we got from downloading poker software. Not the client itself but like software to use on the client. It would give our hole cards to the hackers. Avast will pick up the virus and put it in a chest but you have actually manually delete it to remove it from your computer from the virus chest. If anyone has this on their computer this exact vrius Win32/Spy.Odlanor even in virus chest and didn't remove it very likely a hacker can see your hole cards. So ya if anyone never seen it make sure you manually remov/delete it. And going back and looking now this is not on intertops it just says win32 thats it. It doesn't spy or anything on it so its probably false positive.
- this would be summary of how it works
Once installed, the Odlanor malware is used to create screenshots of the window of the two targeted poker clients, PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker, if the victim is running either of them.
The screenshots are then sent to the attacker's remote computer.
These screenshots not only reveal the hands of the infected opponent but also their player ID.
Both of the targeted poker sites - PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker - let players search for others using this ID, so it is easy for a hacker to connect to tables the victim is playing on.
