I plugged it in to a Gateway Netbook running XP, ran the script referred to in the article, installed the driver, and then ran SDR#. I picked up an inexpensive DVB-T dongle from Amazon ( but it is now out of stock) which was shipped directly from Shenzen, China. Turn Avira off, run Zadig, then turn it back on again. Basically, the report of a trojan in the USB installer that Zadig created is a false positive (see discussion, including results of an Avira staff test of the file, at ). I found my own solution, and thought that I would post it here in case anyone else stumbles across this thread. Has anyone else encountered this problem and, more importantly, is there a workaround, another way to get the WinUSB driver onto my system and associated with the DVB-T device? Without the ability to install the driver for the dongle, I'm dead in the water.

I'm running XP Home SP3 on a Gateway LT20 netbook with a 1.6GB Intel Atom processor. When I ran Zadig to install the WinUSB driver, my Avira antivirus software picked up a trojan called TR/7 and would not let me proceed with the install. As suggested both in the article and its update on QST In Depth, I downloaded a batchfile which downloaded the necessary software. Robert Nickels article in the January QST was exciting, and inspired me to try out SDR using a DVB-T dongle acquired from Amazon.
