If you’ve ever been affected by a virus definition file update that’s flagged an app or a file that you use as a problem, you know how frustrating it can be.  If you haven’t, consider yourself fortunate.  There has just been a virus file definition update that has flagged some code used by our products as problematic.  RSRunner.exe is a file used by our Performance Analysis products, and is a Delphi executable we use to schedule and generate reports.  The file has been used by the client application for over 5 years without issue, but – perhaps because the name is similar to a Trojan called SRunner.exe – the file is being quarantined in some environments.  A similar issue exists with a DLL used by our SQL Optimizer product called synm.dll. We will have a comprehensive statement on this on Monday, once our development teams have completely reviewed the executable and have prepared a full writeup.
