Nod32 recently identified one of my files (which ironically is a "patch" for Nod32 itself) as being a Win32/HackAV.G virus during a in-depth scan. I was just wondering if this would be a false-positive since when I scanned the file with Norton, Kaspersky, and AVG, nothing came up.

anyone? After spending hours googling, I still can't find a answer as to what exactly HackAV.G is.

Have you checked the ESET website? I found the HackAV.g virus listed here:

It's odd that the virus is in a NOD32 update file. Have you contacted the NOD32 support team about it?

I use NOD32 and haven't come across this virus during any indepth scans. Where did you get the update file? -
I found that page too, but it doesn't exactly tell me what does the virus do. Anyways, I did another indepth scan and nothing came up, but just to me sure, I'm do a reformat tonight

hi hi...
i got the exact same issue but in reverse order.
the first in-depth scan actually went negative, meaning no viruses found.
for fun, i ran the 2nd, followed by the 3rd scans, one after another, and the program found the "Win32/HackAV.G" under my "C:\Program Files\ESET\nod32fix.reg"
action taken: "leave"
i cant find further info about this.
anybody got any feedbacks or inputs or advice? -
Congratulations, you've just implicitly admitted the fact that you had pirated the software.

this is the reply i got from tech support....
Hello,
please uninstall NOD32, restart the computer, delete the program files/eset folder and install NOD32 from scratch.
If you have purchased NOD32, download the full version from http://www.eset.com/download/registered_software.php using your user name and password.
A trial version can be downloaded from http://www.eset.com/download/index.php -
The nod32 patch you are referring to is not an official ESET patch but rather a NOD32 crack allowing virus definition updates without the need to pay for a license. NOD32 started to recognize this patch (crack) as a virus, but there in no harm coming from that file, other than making your NOD32 copy an 'illegal' one.
Win32/HackAV.G virus?
