Trojan in 90sp2_quartus_free.exe

Hello,

I've downloaded 90sp2_quartus_free.exe and when I execute it, my anti-virus (F-SECURE) tell me that there is a trojan in a file :

Malicious code detected in file C:\altera\90sp2\quartus\bin\mgcl65e.rra.

Infection : Trojan.Win32.Swizzor.b

Does anyone has this problem ?

Thanks and sorry for my poor english !

    Hi scoub38,

    I downloaded the service pack 2(SP2) for Quartus 2 SUBSCRIPTION EDITION and in C:\...\quartus\bin there isn't the "mgcl65e.rra" file!

    Where you downloaded the SP2?

    Hello,

    I've download the Quartus II web edition Software v9.0 Service Pack 2 directly from altera website

    (https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/altera_design/quartus_we/dnl-quartus_we.jsp)

    When installing it, the F-secure anti-virus stop the install and pop-up a window with an alert message :

    "Code dangereux détecté dans le fichier C:\altera\90sp2\quartus\bin\mgcl65e.rra.

    Infection : Trojan.Win32.Swizzor.b "

    but i think the problem is with F-SECURE because I took a former version on DVD (Quartus II v8.0) and installing the free package, i've also got a popup from F-SECURE with :

    Malicious code detected in file C:\altera\80\quartus\bin\mgclbeb.rra.

    Infection : Trojan.Win32.Swizzor.b

    Action : the file has been deleted

    (The file rra seems to be temporary file for the install ....)

    So, aim I the only one with problems with FSECURE (F-Secure Anti-Virus for Workstations 7.00 révision 220) and Quartus Install ?

    Thanks
