Conversion with Super! before importing....PROBLEM

GregK · Post by **GregK** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 12:06 am

Excuse me for posting this here because it's not a Corel product, but moderators here have advocated the freeware program Super! for conversion before importing into DMF (6.0 is what I have), and I just updated a few days ago to the latest version of Super!.....and since then, every time I open the program up, I get this pop-up notice from McAfee:

The window within McAfee says this:

Any idea why this is now coming up? It never did with the previous version of Super!, and I can't get their forum to load so I can find out about this (their site says they don't offer support for freeware, and the forum is to be used). I've really liked Super! since it was recommended to me here, but this is getting to be danged annoying, and I want it to stop. I've deleted the file from quarantine several times, but each time I reopen Super! this thing shows up again, and I've run several scans in Safe Mode to no avail....I found NOTHING in Safe Mode, but in regular boot-up mode, this keeps happening!

Has anyone else had any problems with Super!... ?

I don't use McAfee, but have read in the past, it has a history of producing false hits on programs. Is there some way in McAfee to tell it that file is alright? I run a AVG by Grisoft, and have never had it report any virus associated with Super..

That was my first thought, Vido....but I'm looking in McAfee right now and can't find such a setting/option to have it ignore the file. I had a problem with AVG recently and am now unable to reinstall AVG or update it for some reason, and I've been thinking of using a program people have suggested called Avast for my antivirus protection.

Greg,
Not sure what exactly you are doing with Super but I've had McAfee at home block it as well as Sophos at work block it. I think there may be something to Super behaving as spyware. Whether or not it is spyware doesn't really matter, what does matter is that it is being blocked. What I have been using lately to convert video files is a program called, "Free Video Converter" v1.4.0.0. It's from a company called "Koyote Software". I found that it does a good job, it's easy to use & best of all it doesn't seem to upset my virus protection software.

Hope this helps

SUPER is kind-of a screwy program and it does do something suspicious... It logs onto the Internet. I don't think it's spyware, but I don't know what it's dong.

I don't find the "zcodecs" folder or the "s2m4.dll" file on my system that has SUPER. Since is't in a temp folder, you can probably safely delete (or rename) that dll.

Doug, I changed my anti-virus program to Avast, and haven't had any problems or notifications since then. I've also never had anything refer to Super whenever I use any of my spyware scanning programs, so I think I'll just leave it be for now.

Heyas,

I have this EXACT same problem. SUPER had always worked excellent for me. But this past week I acquired a virus(via a google image search).
After getting the pc rid of the virus and cleaned and updated, now when I go to convert a video('encode') in SUPER, McAfee is popping up the same alert about the s2m4.dll file. I have McAfee's Program Permisson for SUPER set to "Full Access". I went and "restored" the file from within McAfee, but when I go back and try to encode in SUPER, McAfee does the same thing all over again. I submitted the file into McAfee. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm not sure if the file really is infected or if its a false positive sort of thing. I would simply disable McAfee while encoding, if I knew for sure the file was okay. But this is a pain to do everytime, since I can't seem to find any method to have McAfee accept the file as being okay. Has anyone figured a solution yet?

PS, why am I getting a prompt to intall the Chinese Language Pack everytime I navigate from page to page on this site???

Thanks!
