Hi Support, I discovered two dll files in the latest version of Sierra (1681) have been infected by malware as of January 4th, 2018: 1) sierrachartstudies.dll 2) usercontributedstudies.dll (inside the /Data/ folder) Both files have been infected by Gen:Variant.Ursu.50117 (B), as detected by Emsisoft Anti-Malware installed in my PC. Please see attached JPG for proof. As well, I tried downloading and scanning all zipped installation files from this page: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SCZipInstallerList.php, and found all files on the page have been infected (from version 1676 to 1681). The latest installer-software-downloaded Sierra (v1681) has also been infected. Both dll files were automatically quarantined by my anti-malware software once discovered and now Sierra does not show any of the studies I have put on the chart :( Please kindly advise when the files have been cleaned, and consider investing in better anti-malware protection for the future. Thanks. |
