PDM.Worm detected in Calibre?
I started opening some books in Calibre after having updated to version 0.9.27 and suddenly my Kaspersky Pure AV advised me that it detected a worm called PDM.Worm.P2P.generic. I've been using Calibre since last summer and truly appreciate the work that goes into it but this has me a little concerned.

Thank you for your quick response. I did download Calibre from the official source and did try to find information before posting here but as I said, I've been using Calibre without issue since last August so I became concerned by the Kaspersky especially when the following came up when I installed the latest version:

You may have other malware infecting downloads. Did you notice those other entries with the same worm ?

No, this is the only one. The only other issue I've ever had is a known Kaspersky glitch with an unknown PDM.keylogger being detected due to, if I remember correctly, Adobe Reader. I'm just going to roll back to the last version of Calibre as it worked fine for me and Kaspersky didn't view it as a threat.

Even if you just roll back to the previous version you should still follow these directions and report the false positive to Kaspersky. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 04-19-2013 at 08:49 AM. |

Unless as theducks said, a virus messed with the calibre executable.
