Re: [HTCondor-users] Fwd: URGENT - HTcondor condor_8.4.9-382747-ubuntu14_amd64.deb INFECTED - Benjamin.

I am happy to report that Dr. Web answered my support request. They stated the this was in fact a false positive and they have fixed the problem in their software.

I have 8 Avdesk Drweb. That why I was asking, if you want me to contact them.
But just understand that I have a Drweb contract. The only problem is how to use it for help the community, because I am autist-asperger and really not good in communication. Last time with the support was a freeking mess. But if you want I can try.
Best Regards.
Benjamin.

Do you plan a patch ? Please let me know.

Just to be clear, there is no bug in HTCondor to patch.  If we knew what was triggering Dr Web to falsely identify our 'condor_ckpt_probe' tool on Ubuntu as a virus we could perhaps change it.  We have sent email to the support channel for Dr Web with our findings and have not yet heard a response.  If you have contracted support with Dr Web, perhaps you could do the same - maybe you'd get a faster response.  Then you could forward along to us what they say :).

In the meantime, if you do not intend to recompile your jobs with condor_compile and then submit jobs with "universe=standard" to HTCondor, or if you have no idea what I am talking about with regards to condor_compile and standard universe, then the condor_ckpt_probe binary is not required and can be removed with no consequences.

Hope this helps,
Todd

     I have rebuilt HTCondor on a fresh Ubuntu14 installation, I checked
    the signatures and checksums. I am confident that this is a false
    positive.

    This particular executable is only used to determine standard
    universe support. If Dr. Web deletes this file, most of HTCondor
    will continue to work properly.
