Why does my Anti-Virus Program detect a virus when installing the driver? |
Some Anti-Virus programs are falsely reporting a Virus in the X-Fi Prelude driver, such as the RC-8 driver. These are False-Positives and do not represent a danger to your system.
The False-Positive is triggered by tamper-proof technology built into some add-on software (for example, in the Creative Media Toolbox software). It is not a virus.
You can verify that the driver itself is free of this technology by scanning the installer files in the installation folder.
The Media Toolbox software that contains the technology is a 30-Day trial. You can confirm the absence of a Virus by uninstalling the software and running a system scan. To fully remove the files in the registry and make your PC more stable, we recommend an uninstaller program, such as the one listed below:
