I downloaded Moodle Complete Package v1.9 and when I ran startMoodle.exe my anti virus software detected a trojan called "Fundown.a" in file B2e.exe which it removed.
I deleted all all the moodle files and downloaded v1.8 and the same problem occurred when I ran startMoodle.exe.
I am using windows Vista.
Can anybody help me solve this problem.

Hi there,
have you updated your antivirus definitions recently? - it seems that some antivirus vendors are aware of the false positive reading, and have updated their definitions, also - what antivirus are you using?
thanks,
Dan

Hi Donna,
I'd suggest posting a message on the CA forum here about the false positive:
http://192.8.110.4/homeofficeforum/forums/show/12.page;jsessionid=FF03A8AC406FFE7699DE223D5EDCD239
make sure you include as much info as possible - eg what error you get, what file you are getting the error from (include a link to the moodle.org download page) and also put a link to this as well which will help back up your case to get them to fix it:

good luck!

Yes, I had not noticed that file before. You must be right, Dan - I just tested the installer with some other virus scanners and made a quick search - CA Anti-virus seems to find (hopefully) false positive trojans from many other files too.

Hi all,
I tested with the last updated version of AVG, Norton, Avast and AC, they do not detect falsy positive anymore.
I confirm than AVG detected a falsy positive few weeks ago. I alerted them. Since the last update, AVG doesn't detect any falsy positive on Moodle exe files.
Thanks,
Jerome Mouneyrac

startMoodle.exe ?????
There should not be such file in moodle. Did you download the package from http://download.moodle.org/
