winamp 5.5 trojan?!

GobbHayte · 10th October 2007, 10:48 PM

i've been trying to install the new version of winamp but when i run the installation stopzilla pops up saying there's a trojan in it and it won't install.
i've tried switching stopzilla off then installing it, thought i would just install it then run virus and spyware scans afterwards, but it just won't install at all now, after i press run nothing happens and the installation file dissapears off my desktop.
noone on the winamp tech support forums seems to be having the same problem, what is going on?

ah it's cool, didn't realise that exiting stopzilla didn't actually disable it, needed to untick the realtime spyware protection box.
if anyone is worried about installing the new winamp, i think stopzilla was just mistaking the installation of a new codec for a virus, but i'm gonna run ad/spyware and virus scans after installing just in case.
