A community member reached out to me today to let me know that he discovered a possible virus bundled with the GMATPrep software, offered by MBA.com
If you guys install this software, be sure to have an updated virus scan package on your computer. As we get more information about this, we'll share with you here.Went to the McAfee site and found out that they discovered this new variant on 3/27/09. My virus definitions were updated Saturday night and a subsequent scan of my system early Sunday morning found the virus in the GMATPrep folder in the Programs directory. The file that was quarantined is obviously the HTML viewer so none of the HTML content of the GMATPrep can be displayed.
I went back to their website and re-downloaded the install package in hopes that they had perhaps fixed the issue. During the install process, McAfee halted the install and notified me that the same file with the same Trojan had been quarantined.
I notified customer service at www.mba.com but have yet to get a response.
In answer to your question, no, the download worked fine, it was during the install that the virus was detected.
Thanks very much.
