Well a month or so back when a new update was released for Poker Office there were some big problems caused. Everyone who had AVG and some other various anti-virus programs picked up a trojan when Poker Office was opened. If you moved the file to the vault Poker Office would no longer work. Support informed us that this was a "false positive" and we have nothing to worry about. We were informed to reinstall Poker Office and then allow the trojan. Well after doing some reading and seeing many users report that they allowed the trojan with no bad side effects, I decided that it was safe and did the same.

Well allowing the trojan hadn't caused any problems so far until today. Usualy I would start up Poker Office and then the tojan window would come up and then I would click allow. But today for the first time I didn't even have Poker Office running and AVG picked up a Trojan that was located in my Poker Office Folder. This didn't seem right to me, so I decided to move it to the vault. Here is the exact path of the Trojan Horse Agent: C:\Program Files\Poker Office\bin\InjLib.dll

A couple seconds later after I opted to move that trojan to the vault another Trojan Horse window came up with the path: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{12901... (a bunch of random numbers and letters)} I moved that trojan to the vault as well. And then just a couple seconds ago the same Trojan (System Volume Information) came up again. It's obviously connected some how with the Poker Office Trojan that was detected.

For people that have a better understanding than me of Trojan Horses, do you think I should be concerned? Can a Trojan Horse contain or have anything to do with key logging?

IF you know your history, the Trojans used a Trojan horse to access the greeks fortress by hiding men inside of a giant "Gift" horse that was wheeled into the fortress gates under the false pretence that it was a gift of surrender.

While the greeks were getting drunk cleberating, the men inside of the trojans horse climbed out and oepend the gates from the inside, allowing the trojans to invade the fortress.


The Trojan horse in computer terms does essentially the same thing. Its a backdoor that allows the person who plants it there access to your computer.

So yes to answer your question a trojan horse can definatley be used for key logging, thats thats only the tip of the iceberg, a trojan horse can be used to gain full control of your computer.

So yes get rid of it, and install better anti virus then AVG, i recommend a more commerical solution like Mcafee or norton.

Any trojan file like that should be a concern. Also, what is poker office?

yes a trojan can contain a key logger i don't know how high you play online but yeah this is 1 of the reasons i don't play internet poker don't kno what else to tell you

AVG is fine. Just because you have to pay for Mcafee or Norton doesn't make them better. I use AVG anti-virus and Comodo Firewall. Both are free and I have had no problems. If I were going to pay for something I would get Kaspersky.

It was a false positive. I user Poker Office, and I am not the least bit concerned about that previous issue. They explained it well, and I have no concern that the guys there are trying to sneak a virus in on you. It is a legitimate program that works well.

Pokeroffice has always had really shady software. I used to use it before I switched to Poker Tracker. One of my CS friends was looking at the program, and it appears to hook itself into practically every program that your computer runs and does some other screwy stuff too. Not that this means they're doing anything malicious, but it's odd.

and lol @ posts 2-5 who didn't address the poker office issue, but instead decided to inform OP about what a trojan is and what anti-virus programs he should use.

C:\System Volume Information\_restore.... is the path where system restore information is stored. It should be inaccessible to you (making it a great place for virii!), so you most likely you were not actually getting rid of the infected files. There's a number of ways to deal with it, but your best bet is just disabling system restore, rebooting your machine and then running your scan again. You could enable system restore afterwards if you wanted, but it really does more harm than good.

To disable it: start->right click my computer->properties->system restore->check turn off system restore on all drives and reboot.

I suggest not to use this software. I used wide variety of softwares over years, none report trojans. How come PokerOffice guys can't make normal software which does not report virus? Strange coincidence, just over hundreds of different softwares the one You use for money is reporting virus.

DO NOT USE IT

When you get a virus detected in an otherwise trusted program submit it to your AV vendor as a possible false positive
