Looking for a new root tool - vRoot is declared as a virus now! - Solved!

[Guest dakok]

Croatian PCE forum member asked me to find him a root tool for F1 and it turned out that vRoot (v 1.7.7, v1.7.8. v1.7.9)

cannot be downloaded since Chrome declares it as a virus now!

I think it would be too much for him (being unexperienced) to use YGDP Tool or even Flash Tool so I am looking

for a simple PC root tool.

 

Anyone tried something else than vRoot?

 

Thanks :)

A scan at virustotal looks dodgy but I'm inclined to think they're just detecting a root exploit/ security risk

 

I've run it successfully here and subsequent AV/Malware scan shows up clean.

Edit: post crossed with tcpaulh's post...

 

I just downloaded VRoot 1.7.9 via this page (found via Google) using Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m (in Sandboxie just in case! :)) and it did not complain.

I suspect that it's the user's AV software that is complaining - as you probably this often happens with ROMs, root tools etc. when downloading them even if they are safe.

Of course it always makes sense to be cautious when downloading from sites that MIGHT contain malware...

i have done it several times with vroot, but it run under a virtual machine with XP and no antivirus at all 

that virtual machine runs only for sh**ts like this   :D

[Guest dalyer]

Off topic - virtual machines are great but for stuff like this I find Sandboxie handy.
