Has anyone encountered any Trojan viruses after downloading the intertops poker software?

My computer deleted the setup as it was deemed dangerous and when I looked at the file on Norton it said that it was malicious software, Trojan virus detected.

Yeh, some poker software is detected as viruses, I would just ignore it. Btw, I have been playing on Intertops for almost 2 years with np.

Intertops is safe, to be honest probably softest U.S. room, no traffic, but you also get rakeback as well.

I have also encountered this issue a few times and have always "listened" to my antivirus software's advice and didn't end up installing the software for sites whose poker software was tagged as malicious. I have always wondered what it is about the software that makes the antivirus programs flag them and I assume the people who wrote the antivirus software programs will always know more about malicious software than the average person out there, so it's probably better to err on the side of caution and not install the software. I mean would you sit at a real game table if you were warned ahead of time there might be some suspicious stuff going on at the table?

Yes, I also encountered this problem. When checking the installation file InterTops on the VirusTotal site (a free service that analyzes suspicious files and links) - 12 antiviruses detected various viruses (various Trojans, BackDoor, etc.). Because of this reason, I did not install the program of this poker room to my computer.

This happened to me too recently. I installed Intertops on my PC and everything was fine, no virus reports or anything, even though I run both anti-malware and anti-virus software. But when I tried to install Intertops at my mom's flat there was a whole bunch of issues with Avira (i think) flagging it as a potential threat over and over.

On an unrelated note, I've been playing on intertops for a few days now and have got to admit I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the software.

Edit* Forgot to say that if your AV software is flagging Intertops it's probably just a false positive, and no harm will come to your PC whatsoever.

I actually just had my web security program block a Trojan from the site too. I have been playing on Intertops for awhile. It has been a 100% freeroll on the site A while back they reached out to me and comped me a small bankroll so I would try the site. I really like the site. The games are REALLY soft.

I was just thinking about this trojan thing and I wonder if juicy stakes has the same problem. Juicy Stakes is the same platform with the same users and is ran by the people. I wonder if they are experiencing this same trojan problem right now. Does anyone know? Has anyone who plays on Juicy Stakes had this trojan problem?

One: the problem with Juicy Stakes is they will not let you withdraw even when meet their conditions.

Two: Norton will not let me install Intertops. A ways back I use to play there and had successful withdrawals. I liked that site. Thanks to Norton I will never play there again.

I got the same Trojan message from Avast. It blocked it and I'm still able to play the site.

All you guys need to do is disable your AV or Anti-malware software before installing or updating Intertop or any other software labled as "suspicious". Or an even better thing to do might be to add it as an exception to your AV software so you don't have to keep disabling and enabling it every time you update.

Best of luck

VERY ASTUTE! :)
Defiantly seems the most intelligent approach to handle this -
I mean why exactly does Poker Software need to be infected with Trojans, Back-doors, Bots, and Worms anyway?
Can anyone else guess! :rolleyes:

At best it seems VERY NAIVE to just disable Anti Virus or Anti-Malware protection software to install Intertops - Something is very wrong.
I tried to repair (remove virus and make download safe) but AVAST Free could only delete the file :(

I just did a check at virustotal of the last two Intertops Poker Client software - Here are the results:

Maybe if everyone that is having problems with Intertops would call them, maybe they would fix their software. Just an idea!
I have contacted them twice and may call again today. I want to play there, but seriously don't want the viruses.

I find it funny personally. This question comes up every so often. I use bitdefender and the only way to use intertops or install it is to disable bitdefender. I have installed ACR, BOL SPortsbetting, Betcoin, wpt, ignition and pokerstars. Not one of them caused an issue with bitdefender.

Everyone says Intertops is safe. Like everyone said fullflush was a great place to deposit @ one time lol- I trust no-one. I agree with Gary Heart completely what's the point of doing this. Only reason I play on the site occasionally is because I put it in a vm now, but as my br as consistently grown on the other sites except for ignition (cause I don't play there) I have less and less reason to play on intertops other than for leaderboard points.

Also I got a nasty message from them once because I did not play in over 30 days (which was not true) and they disabled my account. I got it re-enabled but CS was rude and arrogant about it. So I am not a fan of the site to begin with

Been playing on Intertops more than 7 years. Very reliable payer. Lost $138 playing their slots a week ago. Only complaint I have is it is one of my few poker sites that charge for a withdraw.

its safe to use. I would get software blocked by nortons for every card room client, pokertracker 4 and holdem manger 2. just go in and disable AV for 15 mins while you download software and then turn back on.
