and get no response, no reply, the Trojan infected zip file is still ready for download.
He did nothing to protect visitors from getting infected with Trojan.

==================
There is another web page, claiming
Trojan is not real Trojan
but I would prefer Internet Security Agency in Europe to check every file offered by this and other websites for Trojans ansd viruses in zip files offered for download.

(Trojan detected with 360 Total Security)
I can attach screenshot

Basic applications

Who uses AVG (or other similar antivirus) mayAntivirus2.gif (400× 400)well be false alarms.

Do not use commercial antivirus, cause unnecessary worries and then let the real virus. Read this page.

Our advice is to only use Defender, I have never betrayed.

In the case of false positives check the wires downloaded using a service online, for example this: HTTPS://www.virustotal.com/it

The virustotal service go about 60 antivirus and it is quite normal that one or two of them may be wrong. But if there are 58 or 59 which give a positive result you can trust. Who just don't trust can explore the source and recompile them himself on his computer. Anyway do not worry, We have better things to do than write viruses.

thank you

I was contacted by the developer of programs detected to contain Trojans
and he claimed, everything was ok.

"Hello,
The downloads are not infected with any virus.
I programmed them myself and the sources are also available.
They have been downloaded and used many times by many people without any problems.
Just to be on the safe side, I scanned them with Apex One from Trend Micro and found no reports of viruses.
I would recommend trying a different antivirus."




I installed 360 Total Security and get Trojan warning by 360 Total.

In the past I installed Kaspersky Antivirus but it kept my disk busy all the time, since Kaspersky uploads every unknown file on private disk to his cloud for check up.
Since I didn't want my total disk to be uploaded to Kaspesky's cloud for inspection I removed his tools from my PC.


The problem with Theremino files is years old and disclaimer appears on their website to scan files with totalvirus.
But since 360 Total Security is not part of totalvirus it makes no difference to me.

I cannot take any risk so I plan to contact 360 Total Security to get Theremino virus Trojan infected files cleared by them and existing Trojan signatures checked twice.

This is a job to be done by any developer but I decided to help them.

BTW
I am not aware of Apex One by Trend Micro
but since some antivirus antiTrojan tools
act exactly as Trojans, uploading personal data, personal files to the cloud
I'll await decision about Theremino Trojans to be issued by 360 Total Security
