As most of you know, July 18th's build of Xshell was affected by malicious code in the nssock2.dll file.
The announcement on the issue can be found here: https://www.netsarang.com/news/security_exploit_in_july_18_2017_build.html.
A further progress report can be found here: https://www.netsarang.com/news/progress_report_of_the_nssock2_dll_backdoor.html

Some users are having trouble re-installing Xshell after their antivirus has quarantined the affected dll file, nssock2.dll. If you're having issues reinstalling, please use the following steps.

1. Allow your antivirus to delete the quarantined nssock2.dll file.
2. Reinstall Xshell using the latest Build which can be found on our website here: https://www.netsarang.com/download/software.html
3. If you are using other NetSarang products, you may need to uninstall all of them before you can re-install Xshell successfully.
