What is makeswf.exe and why does it look like spyware?
makeswf.exe is a utility file used by Vyew Accelerator during recording to combine recorded screenshots into a single file to be sent to our server. It has come to our attention that some anti-spyware scanners such as “Malwarebytes Anti-Malware” classifies this file as a “Trojan.Agent.”
We built that file ourselves and there is absolutely no spyware in it, it is a mis-diagnosis by the scanner.
Recording a Vyew Meeting
At this time, Vyew does not have a built-in meeting recording tool. It’s a much-requested feature, it is on the timeline, but there’s no ETA.
Recording Software
We generally recommend using Vyew in conjunction with third-party recording software, e.g., CamStudio, Camtasia, Screencast-O-Matic, or on Linux, xvidcap. The resultant video can then be imported into your Vyew Room.
