ESET NOD32 false-positive: Genetik Trojan
Recently, the ESET NOD32 AntiVirus program began erroneously detecting the Chilkat .NET 2.0/3.5 download as containing a Genetik Trojan virus. This is incorrect (i.e. it is a false positive). After researching the Genetik Trojan, it has become apparent that NOD32’s virus definition for this particular virus is frequently a false-positive. If you experience this problem, […]

Testing uploads, we’re seeing about 350 KB/s via the Ck library to our (local network) FTP server. A FileZilla transfer of the same file to the same server can happily hit up to 7MB/s. I realize Ck […]
