    Hi guys, I d/l both the online and the offline versions of X-Sim last week and both times the d/l process was interrupted with a message from Kaspersky popping up stating that there is a trojan in the files :S. Any comments?

    From time to time various anti-virus software packages have reported false positives on the X-Sim software. Please verify this with another anti-virus software.

    I can understand why an anti-virus package could make this mistake. Think about what X-Sim is doing. It contains code to examine the contents of another applications memory. This could be easily mistaken as a virus like behavior.

    Does it report which file is has a problem with?

    I was thinking this very same thing but just wanted to make sure other people weren't in the same boat as that would indicate there is a virus present. I don't have any other anti-virus software to test the files with so I was kinda hoping others had experienced or more precisely not experienced the same problem. I'll double check which files popped up as suspicious when I re-d/l the software once I'm uncapped again.
