Hi,
When downloading the BIOS tool from the downloads area Teclast->X98 Plus->Bios Updates-> X98PlusBIOSUpdateTool (2.7 MiB), Windows Defender detects malware. Trojan:Win32/Spursint.A
Anyone else had this?
Thanks.
February 25, 2016 at 3:20 pm #27033Anyone else verify this as true or not?
February 25, 2016 at 6:41 pm #27059No, IMHO it’s nonsense, maybe you have incorrect link for downloading or changed hosts at your system…
February 25, 2016 at 6:57 pm #27062False positive, it’s because of the rights this application has to flash a bios. I did get a warning on Google drive it had a virus, but it’s rubbish as it’s the official file from Teclast.

Ordered and waiting for my: BMAX S15 & Teclast F6 Plus
Currently testing: LG G8X & Redmi K30February 25, 2016 at 9:21 pm #27082FYI I had to disable Windows Defender to download the file and then add an exclusion so that it would not quarantine it when opening or extracting in WinRAR.
April 5, 2016 at 12:56 pm #32112If that’s the official files from teclast, why not just post a link to the official files on teclast website ?
