Latest version flagged up as having viruses?


Recommended Posts

I always run through virustotal.com any exe files.

(+ I only every install things rarely and ONLY from trusted sources.)

3 flags:

Jiangmin: Backdoor.DarkKomet.kcu

Rising: Malware.Heuristic!ET#80% (RDMK:cmRt

C2AE: UNKNOWN_VERDICT

The website runs against 60-70 virus scanners.

When you upload the file, it doesn't upload as such. It calculates a hash number that is unique to the file - only start uploading if no previous match found or you force an uplaod.

The above virus checkers are maybe bogus ones...

But why would there be any flag at all?

I trust Serif. Another program... I would have given a lot more thought before running.

Any thoughts?

False positives are quite normal. These scanner are sometimes looking for patterns similar to those of threats. I had to contact the company behind my virus scanner a few times because of false positives - they then cleared the file of suspicion in the next update. Never had the problem with Serif software though.

I am not worried :)
