Digital Photo Keyring

[Sepherz]

Hi all,

I hope this is the right place to post this.

My partner has just got a digital photo keyring, which was brought on eBay. Upon connecting to the computer, AVG reports a Trojan in its main program.

The program is called DPFMate.exe and seems to be the main software for these digital key rings. Unfortunately the keyring acts as a CD drive (read only) and you don't drag and drop photos onto the drive, you have to use this program (DPFMate) to transfer them onto the key ring.

I was able to transfer a couple of photo's eventually using safe mode. After doing this I went back into windows normally and scanned it with AVG and Malware Anti-bytes and nothing has shown up. So after googling this issue, I have seen someone else has had the same trouble with a different keyring, different shop, but the same software.

Does anyone have one of these key rings to give opinions to this Trojan being a false positive? As this is what it's looking like. Or the Trojan is part of how the program works, as I know not all Trojans are bad. AVG is making it unusable tho.

Thanks

Hi.
I'm having the same problem with a key ring that I bought at Canadian Tire. It will not let me drop pic in as it says it's a read only and I tried it at my aunt's and that's when it said it was a Trojan virus... DPFMate.exe and GEnCodeUnicode.dll says w32/Packed_Nspack.1 and .A and when you try to clean it it says access denied. I cannot figure out how to fix the problem either.

I now just ignore the Trojan message and as Ive said I assume its just how the program works.

To use it, I run the DPFMate.exe in safe mode, and it lets me add/delete photos. I have not had any problems with my computer by doing this.

I only decided to try it in safe mode because there wasn't much chance a brand new keyring would come with a virus on it.

AVG is known for its high rate of false positives. Try scanning the file with another antivirus.

Mine just won't open the software at all. Does anyone know anything about the DPFMate Software???

My girlfriend bought me a digital photo keyring for Christmas and when I connected it to my laptop, McAfee security centre instantly gave me this message:

Trojan Removed

McAfee has automatically blocked and removed a Trojan.

About this Trojan
Detected: Generic.dx (Trojan), Generic.dx (Trojan)
Location: D:\FEnCodeUnicode.dll

Trojans appear as legitimate programs but can damage valuable files, disrupt performance, and allow unauthorized access to your computer.


Is this actually a Trojan or is it safe to use as I would love to get it working as soon as I can!

It would seem this is likely a true infection.

I think I'd be returning it...
