slopes 3 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Got this when updating AMD and wasn't sure what to do so I selected treat as new program and quarantined it on the alert Is this ok to take out of quarantine? Thanks so much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 860 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Based on the name I am assuming it is the gaming chat program called Raptr. This particular software has been known in the past for being bundled with junkware and such to make money, so it's probably not a good thing to install if you are given the option to avoid it. If your AMD software installed without trouble, then you can leave this Raptr thing in the Quarantine for now, and wait and see if everything works OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slopes 3 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I don't think it installed,amd still shows the old version,program and features only shows the amd install manager for today and still shows the old amd as well. I just upgraded to windows 10 on the 29th and did the amd update through amd console check for software updates today Edit.the file is .exe Thanks GT Here is the alert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 860 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Would it be possible to upload the file in question to VirusTotal, and then post the link to the analysis here for me to take a look at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slopes 3 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 No sorry I can't I ended up uninstalling the install manager and lost the AMD U.I. Then I did a restore and deleted the quarantined file. AMD is prompting for the update,not sure if I should try it again? Thanks GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 860 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Have you tried downloading the update yourself from AMD's website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slopes 3 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Sorry for the delay in replying GT Haven't tried it at theAMD website. Thought I would just leave it, or do you recommend doing the update? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 860 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 If it's a real update from AMD, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with installing it. Whether or not you need it depends on whether or not you are experiencing any bugs with their driver that are fixed in the new update, or whether or not you intend on using any software (such as games) that expect you to have the latest drivers installed.

slopes 3 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Not having any trouble with it at all,don't do any gaming.If there is no security patch with these updates? I think I'll just leave it for now. Thanks GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
