Hey soni1, I deleted 3 out of 4 very similar threads you started, and combined them all in this post.

The backdoor Trojan warnings, stating that HoldemManager files had a Trojan are false. After an update of HoldemManager http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloads/HmUpdate.exe and an update of your antivirus/antispyware software this issue should be resolved.

If you still get a "Trojan found" message, please close HEM and your anti-virus and delete any \xenocode\appliance cache folders and any other possible false positive files.

1. Enable "Show hidden files and folders" under Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View
2. Go to C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Xenocode\Appl iance Cache and delete every folder you can find in there

If you are on XP, that location is C:\Documents and Settings\%USERPROFILE%\Local\Application Data\xenocode\appliance cache

Empty your recycle bin.
reboot

If you have Kaspersky try this:

or this:

* Go into the KAV settings window.
* Navigate to the Service node.
* Here, turn on the Compatibility mode for programs using self-protection option.

If that does not work then find the "Heuristic Scanning" option in Kaspersky and disable that.

To protect your computer against any worms make sure you have a virus program that is automatically updated and regularly perform a full scan of your whole system. (I use AVG Antivirus Free Edition myself)

Did you get a virus warning from something related to HM? We had a false-positive bug a month ago, that you may be experiencing.

Which Operating System, Firewall, and Anti-Virus are you using?
