McAfee

Campus-wide reports tell that a new McAfee definition file detects and removes RooiHub as a trojan. Except for all the bugs, RooiHub does not contain any trojan that we know of.

The generic misclassification is most likely due to the software’s ability to replace itself when a new update is released via the official RooiHub website. We are working on releasing a fix, possibly excluding the auto-updater, to solve the problem.

In the meantime, if you want to try a sane virus-scanner instead, use AVG. You can remove McAfee like so (though we don’t recommend going without anti-virus) with instructions provided by the community (we didn’t test this):

“When I run RooiHub, nothing happens!”

Cause

• You need the latest ApexDC++ software or it is not installed properly.

Solution

• Download the latest ApexDC++ here.

“I can’t see anyone else on my local RooiHub!”

Causes

1. Windows Firewall is blocking RooiHub communications.
2. No one else on your local area network (LAN) is running rooihub.

Solutions

Any one of the following solutions will suffice. Start with the simplest: the first.

• Open the Control Panel in Windows (or run control from the Run prompt). Disable Windows Firewall.
• Create an exception for the RooiHub executable (RooiHub.exe) in Windows Firewall.
• Allow UDP traffic on port 13000 and TCP traffic on port 6667 and 8067 for chat servers.
• Get other people on your LAN to run RooiHub.

“Set of local port bind failed.”

Causes

1. RooiHub is already running or did not close properly.
2. Another application may be trying to use the RooiHub ports (unlikely).

Solutions

• Close RooiHub it by right-clicking on the RooiHub tray icon and selecting Exit.
• If there is no icon, run taskmgr.exe from the Run prompt and end the “RooiHub.exe” task. Run RooiHub again.
