SimWorks Anti-Virus now removes Mosquitos game

Posted at August 16, 2004 07:59 AM in Symbian .

In an interesting move that could force the Mosquitos game creators, mojom, to make a statement SimWorks anti-virus now detects Mosquitos as a trojan and removes it from the system. It also detects CABIR. There's no note to whether they only remove a specific version or not. The issue is that we've now got a piece of software that can target other pieces of software on a whim. The feature was supposedly only for copy protection purposes, so technically only those affected would be illegal users who aren't suppose to have it anyway. Anyone else would have it legally -- but SAV would remove it.
