Cambodia Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hi All, I've a very strong virus auto alert message in my Autocad 2007 -2011, i try to re installed the product and clear the registry editor as well as change all the AutoCad version, i also try to scan with Kaspersky and Avast but none of them can catch the virus. Unfortunately the auto alert message still keep alert while i'm opening the autocad design file, Anyone here used to meet this problem? Please help me to give any suggestion would be a very big save! Thank in advanced, Cambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoW Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Too little information to get started... Why is it a virus you think? Because your antivirus does not alert you. Have you got any screenshots or "text" that comes from alerts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nestly Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 He posted the message and screenshot at the Autodesk forums. It looks more like part of an addon than a virus to me, but I've certainly never seen anything like it. http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-2011/Strong-Virus-alert-message-in-Autocad-2007-2011/td-p/2846508 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The text message he posted doesn't look like an alert to me (loads a file, substitutes fonts, regenerates model, loads Express Tools, loads utilities) and the jpeg he posted may point to the fact that the OP's IT department is running an antivirus program that aggressively looks at what AutoCAD is loading. Why? Beats the heck out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 This is what looks unfamilar to me, and why I thought it might be something trying to load at startup. I dunno?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I see your point. Perhaps a macro virus then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
