888 poker virus

[Ivan Basic]

Hi,

I've just a received a note saying there is a virus inside 888 poker...

So , i've uninstalled it ( with pain because antivirus ESET was screaming),

and tried downloading a FRESH new 888installer.exe from their official website...

and voila... it is in there aswell

See my attached pic . I am Croatian, but in croatian here it says that

There is a virus inside called Casino.RandLogic.A


Sooo, my question is ...

am I only one with this issue?

Are they controlling somehow what cards we have ( and yes, with a virus they can! ) ?!

Intresting, I using Northon for about 12 years and fully trust it , but my Northon never flashed anything about 888poker so I say its 100% sure.

I think you might be confused. Did you look at the results?

You're downloading a casino application, so that's what you get.

what?

That 6 out of 54. antiviruses detected a virus?

 

[moots]

Those 6 companies are flagging the 888 App as potentially unwanted.

But it doesn't mean it has a virus.

Naaah dude, it doesn't work like that.

I work in IT as a sys admin...

, this is a virus. Call it what ever you'd like it.

You should uninstall any antivirus you have.

komsija,
it's a PUP, potentialy unwanted program, not a virus, but app which need to have some additional rights to run properly, not a virus.
If you're sys admin, you should know what's a virus and what's PUP.

I had a similar situation however after many times of reinstalling the software it works.

Almost correct: it might be doing bad things.
If we are lucky, it's casino promotions in the poker app, nothing immediately harmfull or destructive. But it likely provides an easy link to click and lose money.

Hi.
I have no such problems. Currently I have disabled all antivirus software. I think your problem will disappear when a new software update appears.

 

[Andrei Korolev]

I also faced this problem, but I at my own risk,turned off the antivirus and everything seems to be in order...

 

[redmast]

My antivirus program is silent on this. If it is prescribed that the program is undesirable, this does not mean that it is a virus.

[Haze777s]

Help me I can't download the 888 client, maybe I'm out of place but for some reason it gives an error.

 

[efranto2286]

Hello my 888poker work well together so far but thanks for the info

 

[shanest]

had the same issue. its a strange one

 

[Stollpe]

888 Software is fine for me.

 

[elchonga]

my computer won't let me download 888 or it says a virus I tried everything to fix it but no one can tell me what I can do to download it I deleted everything from everywhere, no old files and uninstalled everything that looked like 888 as well which would not have any conflict, I still can't do it, it says virus

The same thing happens to me
I have to play from the page as a guest, without downloading

 

[deputat777]

I don't use antivirus at all. The built-in antivirus in Windows is enough.

 

[acidburnfx]

I installed the program from the official website and the virus message appeared:

Threat blocked: "File infected with FileRepPup [PUP]"

Strange! Has anyone else here had a similar experience?

Yes, I had a similar issue when installing the software on my old laptop. It only worked when creating an exception in the AntiVirus software.

A lot of antivirus softwares don't like 888, avast and avg flag it as a pup, I love pups 😊
