Description kilibob 2008-10-03 22:35:22 UTC
The latest virus definitions for Symantec AntiVirus (or at least the ones my corp. has active) are quarantining the 
file nbi-engine.jar (the one in Documents and Setting\<userid>\.nbi) and insisting that it contains a Trojan.  It's got 
a problem with "cleaner.exe".

Is this a trojan, or an error with Symantec?  Can you guys resolve this or must Symantec?  Do you need any additional 
information from me with respect to software versions &tc, or is this enough?

I'm running the 200809291401 nightly dev build, my Symantec version is 10.1.0.394, using scan engine version 81.2.0.25 
and the virus definition file 10/2/2008 rev. 4.

This file (nbi-engine.jar) in C:\Documents and Setting\<userid>\.nbi is the artifact of the old netbeans installer 
builds. It is not used by the current ones and is not re-created.
If you don`t have old NetBeans builds installer (any 6.0 build prior to 6.0 Beta2) feel free to remove this file.

NetBeans 7.2 RC 1

Comodo Antivirus for Mac is still flagging nib-engine.jar (cleaner.exe) as TrojWare.Win32.Trojan.Agent.Gen@96773734

Is nbi-engine.jar is indeed (still) obsolete and unused, please remove it from the NetBeans distribution !
