Virus found! HKTL_SUPERSCAN.3

HKTL_SUPERSCAN.3

OK this tops my list of extremely annoying. Trend Officescan implies that superscan 3, the supereffective fast and highly useful network scanning utility is ‘grayware’.

Well, yes, I suppose it could be used for nefarious purposes.  Just like a brick could be used for nefarious purposes.  As an example, we make houses out of brick, but if I took a brick and dropped it on the heads of the idiots who did this at Trend, they would probably recommend a law to outlaw bricks.

thanks to officescan a 15 minute task to scan a network looking for hardcoded ip addresses turned into a 45 minute task of trying to configure officescan to allow me to use a great piece of software.

Note:  Superscan 4 is out, but it sucks.  Superscan 3 is all you probably need and it’s not bloatware.
