    Hi. I downloaded the latest updates for Acer Arcade Deluxe a couple of days ago, using the Live Update feature within the program, and noticed today that McAfee has quarantined two files related to this program.

    The files are both located in c:\program files\acer arcade deluxe\playmovie\videofilter. The first is BCMDFILTER.DLL, this is detected as Artemis!2309D0D4349A (Trojan) and the other is CLDABCD.DLL, detected as Artemis!202C3E6FA905 (Trojan).

    Can anyone advise on these files please? Are they trojans or are they legitimate? I have forwarded the files to McAfee and have no idea whether to allow these files or not.

    Any info on this would be aprrectiated, thanks

    Thanks, here's links to the results. I'm not sure how to interpret these? The first seems to be an unsigned broadcom bluetooth file and the second a signed cyberlink file? Do you think I should trust these files?

    Hm - I've got 2.5.7426, and neither MSE nor Trend Micro (switched from the latter to the former) picked up anything untoward.
    Possible false positive?
    BCMDFILTER.DLL looks like it's for the Broadcom Crystal HD Decoder that's showing up on some Aspire One netbooks.

    EDIT: And furthermore, I can't update to 2.6.7130 through Live Update: the Arcade Deluxe download utility picked something up, though.

    I've just rerun Live Update again and it's now updated my Arcade Deluxe to v2.6.7426 - and the problem's gone. The BCDMFILTER.DLL has disappeared altogether and the CLDABCD.DLL appears to have cldabc.dll. Having put the updated version of Arcade Deluxe through McAfee it now comes back as clean!

    Thanks all for the help

    I guess Acer must've found the problem and summarily sacked the sap who snuck the trojans in.

    I don't think there ever was a trojan altogether.
    If you look at Power DVD forum people report CLDABCD.DLL has been reported as a trojan by McAfee. Acer probably got some complaints thus an updated version.
