AVG Found Trojan after new download from winamp

markeepoo · 1st October 2008, 01:53

After trying to start my winamp it crashed and avg said that the zlib.dll file in the winamp folder was infected with the Trojan horse.SHeur.CLZE viru. After healing the winamp it would not work. So I downloaded a new winamp from winamp and other well known sites. and after re installing it still tells me that the same file is infected.
Can you please advise
Thank You

This is an issue with AVG and not winamp.

So is the winamp not infected? After downloading then why is winamp crashing on winxp and vista

After disabling AVG an re installing a new winamp it still crashes and will not run

If AVG falsely removes one of the core files (zlib.dll) from Winamp, then it cannot be expected to function properly. Please report the false positive to AVG.

I have disabled AVG and reinstalled A NEW WINAMP AND IT STILL DOES CRASH. ON TWO MACHINES WINXP AND VISTA. AGAIN I WILL SAY THE WINAMP CRASHES ON BOTH MACHINES WITH AVG OFF!

Ok went in AVG and done the Exceptions under the Resident Shield section and was able to get winamp back up and running. I see that many people are having this problem. so way don't winamp contact AVG and have them FIX this problem, because it puts a bad name on winamp.
Thank You for your help

Hi All, I have just updated AVG and it no longer detects the winamp dll as infected with a Trojan.
