UB Virus?

 My UB said it had to end program and then immediately after I got an alert from AVG saying "Trojan Horse Downloader Generic 8 BGD".  These two events happened simultaneously as UB had to be "shut down".

What is going on?

What's going on is that you're playing on UB. Is there actually any mystery in this?

I uninstalled too.  It just makes you wonder how this could happen.  It would mean that UB/AP is sending out trojans which means

1) their security has been compromised

2) they are really sending out trojans on purpose

Option 2 would have to be the dumbest thing in the world for them to do so doesn't this mean that their security has been compromised?  You can't tell me that the programmers fucked up at UB so much that they are sending out trojans.  That would mean that the programmers put trojans into the software and that doesn't happen by mistake...

Yea, same thing happened on AP.

It just looks like programmers there made a retarded error and/or they didn't bug test the software release properly.

It isn't actually a virus.  Read the Poker News Daily article.
