Now, I've gotta find someone with a save state on all the dragon warriors and final fantasy because I am not getting all my people to 9,999,999 again. That took me 2 weeks.
I still have the save states from fce in a folder but I don't think there is anyway to transfer them to nestopia.
Ok, I used this website http://virusscan.jotti.org/
which has a bunch of different well known virus scanners to take a look at fceu.exe
Here's what was found:
A-Squared Found nothing
AntiVir Found nothing
ArcaVir Found Trojan.Dropper.Agent.Dmj
Avast Found nothing
AVG Antivirus Found nothing
BitDefender Found nothing
ClamAV Found nothing
CPsecure Found Troj.Dropper.W32.Agent.dmj
Dr.Web Found nothing
F-Prot Antivirus Found nothing
F-Secure Anti-Virus Found Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.dmj
Fortinet Found W32/Agent.DMJ!tr
Ikarus Found Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.dmj
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Found Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.dmj
NOD32 Found nothing
Norman Virus Control Found W32/Agent.DUEY
Panda Antivirus Found nothing
Rising Antivirus Found nothing
Sophos Antivirus Found Mal/Generic-A
VirusBuster Found nothing
VBA32 Found Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent.dmj
So, has anyone tested this fceu.exe before it was put up on the site? I think it's an issue that should be addressed because I'd like to know what the deal is.
After updating for a few days, avg doesn't detect my new downloaded fceu.exe file which is good but couldn't it just be a new trojan that hasn't been activated yet?
If you got a trojan it is very unlikely the infection came from a downloaded file..
The simple fact is false positives are nothing with with many anti-virus programs, especially those who rely on hueristics.
AV programs have limited judgement skills, when it sees a piece of code that LOOKS like it could be part of a malicious program, it doesn't know any better than to warn you.. Say some mexican dude broke into your car, and now you have this irrational fear and become suspicious every time you see any mexican person.
That's pretty much how your AV program works when it makes a false positive.
You should be able to download a compiled executable file off of FCE Ultra's main site though, I'm not sure how you ended up with uncompiled source unless you became confused and used the wrong download link.
Development has gone whack and personally I think it's dead. It's not really clear who is maintaining it anymore, and wikipedia lists several different web sites.
You won't find any really recent versions, so I'd just get the last official release and use that, or look for an unofficial one that looks legit.
The only real way to test if you have a trojan is to download a trojan scanner, and also a program that monitors when programs wants to make changes to your registry by adding keys, and also when they want to open connections to the internet.
