False positive: Trojan found

[MacGray]

Trojan found in Game of Thrones S03E08 HDTV x264-EVOLVE

Admins, let me know when and how you solved this issue.
Until then I'll be going elsewhere for my subtitles!!

It's pretty hard to add a trojan into a text file...
Can you give us the opensubtitles URL, what you did exactly, what was the message and what anti-virus software you are using?

[MacGray]

it was not a text file, sorry, my bad
must have pressed the wrong link, this is the one:

http://www.opensubtitles.org/addons/say ... EVOLVE.mp4

the file it asks to download is ....08.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE.mp4_downloader_de_98828.exe
binary file 6,5 MB from http://inst.express-files.com

the trojan is TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen according to AVIRA Antivir

It's false alert.

have you noticed ccc suffix in the supposedly infecting file - like here http://soft2secure.com/knowledgebase/ccc-file

It's not the first time I see a virus alert or somebody complaining about a virus.

How can you hide a virus in a text file? Or an SRT which is basically text?
The most dangerous thing it could do is corrupt the characters in your screen.

Please, don't try to execute an SRT file. I don't think it's very useful :-D

The EICAR virus is text...

I see. So the problem is not the virus but the antivirus.:-D
