Done

Just a heads up for the author:

After ignoring Protection_id.exe since forever (at least since April 2007 when I installed 5.2c), Norton AV suddenly started quarantining this .exe as of January 23rd.

Norton says it contains a Trojan Horse and directs to this page:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...021914-2822-99'

I downloaded and installed the V6 from your website and got the same response.

It appears that you have been blacklisted!!

Never mind. Downloaded another copy and installed. Everything OK and NAV scans it OK. Sorry for the false alarm: I'm mystified. I've hit my system with several different AV, adware and malware scanners and can't find anything that might have caused this (disclaimer - see my signature).

we do actually check pid against typical anti virus programs before we release a new build to avoid issues such as those above...

however we do not test against norton anti virus, simply because its a piece of shit and raises many false positives on non malware/virused programs... i suggest you ditch norton and use a decent anti virus, you might also find your system is a bit faster...

I need some help please. Is this what I want to download to find out what protection is on the game CD I want to burn? If it is and I download it , then what do I do> Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.

Here is a tutorial how to use pid.

So, once you've identified the protection can you defeat it and still copy the DVD? What I mean is can this software do this and what is the process?

Thanks!

This depends on the used protection. When you found out which protection is used take a look at our CD Backup Guides and Tutorials for a method and use the search function if the same protection type or title has already been discussed here.

I downloaded 5.2c and 6.00.
I know McAfee isn't the best.
After scanning with McAfee, it found
New Malware.ag
in the v5.2c rar.
It found nothing in v6.00.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

The 5.2c in my above post was downloaded from PID's homepage.

I also downloaded ALL versions available on cdmediaworld.com.
According to McAfee, 5.2b and 5.2c from that site contained the New Malware.ag trojan.

Someone tell me these are false finds.

Thanks

5.2c did indeed cause some false positives on some virus scanners
6.0 currently does NOT raise any anti virus warnings..

pid does NOT contain malware/spyware/trojans/antiviruses

and really, you should all upgrade to v6, its better, has a hell of a lot more in it and has a lot more signatures (so higher chance of detection)... v5 is redundant now...

we also make a point of scanning v6 releases using virustotal.com from now on...
