toggle_IE_proxy.exe reported as trojan with Symantec anti-virus

tinchie8

The anti-virus has detected this is a trojan and automatically quarantined the file. Is this really true?

is this really a trojan??

Thanks,

No.

It's a false positive by your anti-virus program.

Hello,

I am reopening this thread since our administrator does not want to place an exemption on the case that "toggle_IE_proxy.exe" is not a virus. Is there any other way, this does not get deleted or detected by the anti-virus program?

Thanks,

Can you explain what you mean by "placing an exemption"?

If you feel uncomfortable with it, feel free to delete it. It's not a critical part of running Sahi. It's simply a tool to make testing easier.

Hi Stringylow,

"placing an exemption" means making "toggle_IE_proxy.exe" flagged as not a virus. I think there is a way in doing this, but I am unsure how they implement this.

I'd like to ask, What does "t's simply a tool to make testing easier."? I apologize if I ask too much.

Thanks,

toggle_IE_proxy.exe is a simple tool to switch proxy on IE via commandline. It is used to automatedly run a suite on IE. So instead of manually changing the IE proxy settings, you call toggle_IE_proxy.exe enable before calling the Sahi Suite and then call toggle_IE_proxy.exe disable after the completion of suite.
