IS PIVOT ANIMATOR SAFE?

[c96]

Hi, I've recently been wanting to start animation but all I know how to use is pivot animator as I used to play around with it as a kid, please let me know if it contains any malware or anything like that. Thanks.

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1210753#c1 – it's safe.

If it is safe then they need to fix it so it doesn't trigger as a trojan threat...

Not they – he. The development team is one person, and its direction is decided by his whims. He's also not particularly receptive to feedback, so I wish you luck in that endeavour.

Idk what you mean by the feedbacks and stuff since last thing I heard about this software is the dev stopped working on it fully. It is possible for a hacker to hijack it but that wouldn't be the cause of the scan to trigger right? Some times it can mean it is still new to that scanner's database or so outdated it has been added to not safe by some random and an AV worker accepted it? Trying to find out why it scans as trojan threat. If it is safe all AVs should know by now.

Just tried to download it today and windows antivirus itself poppe dup with a positive and can't seem remove the files it's stored inside the recycle bin. Any time I tried to right click on the program itself to delete it, my PC would freeze up. I had to click elsewhere on screen, use the arrow keys to navigate to it, and then manually delete it with the delete key, then empty the recycle bin just to remove the exe (I never even ran it.)

It seems the program itself has been hijacked by someone using PUADlManager:Win32/Sepdot which is a form of trojan malware. Anything tapping into Win32 is a BASTARD to get out.

It essentially makes your computer relay information to outside servers (IE: Stealing information), and windows has a HELL of a time trying to remove it. I've done multiple scans and the quarantine/remove options don't seem to be doing much so I'm resorting to a full system scan with both windows AND malwarebytes to try and dislodge the remaining files.Fingers crossed, otherwise I'm probably going to be stuck doing a completely clean install of windows to get rid of it.

Even after binning and removing the file, it reads that something else was stored in the %appdata% folders and those are a tricky thing in and of themselves.

For anyone reading this in modern times: DO NOT DOWNLOAD PIVOT, IT IS NO LONGER SAFE.

Also, NEVER rely on googling fixes for viruses. Most of them are just more viruses in and of themselves, or are even placed on your browser by a virus to create more openings (Sadly it's REALLY not hard to do.)

I'll be so glad when the punishment for viruses eventually just becomes a death sentence because whoo-boi. Causing tens of billions of dollars in damages is insanity and no matter how "Abandoned" a project may be, leaving the website up while it's hijacked is 100% the developers fault and he should be liable for any damages this causes. It's been reported to him multiple times from my research, and his response is "Well then don't download it."

So he's kind of apathetic to the fact he's causing damage to systems....

It's not abandoned. It's actively developed in their discord group. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. If there is indeed a virus contained, it's been manually added by the developer himself.

Have you VirusTotal'd it?

I didn't had all that happen to me from this but I have from others, even from Discord. Which gave me BSOD but they fixed that. So far for me on this software I just get the virus popup.

Why would he add it in his self? And why so long ago? Make it FUD so it doesn't trigger.
