Prevx detects malware


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm running Prevx and it detects the ImgBurn uninstaller (uninstall.exe in the ImgBurn program folder) as containing the malware Generic.Dropper.xCodec. I downloaded ImgBurn from the ImgBurn link on www.imgburn.com

 

Does this file inadvertently contain a virus?

Posted

No, Prevx is showing a false positive.

It's a good idea to report it to them and send them the file so they can fix their program.

Checked with AVG antivirus and antispyware, and with Spyware terminator. No problem found.

As well as AVG at home, I scanned with McAfee in work. Both were fine.

Not the first time nor will it be the last time that some anti-malware/spyware/virus program has sounded off about something in IB. Report it to the software company and always make sure that you download the ImgBurn program from a mirror located on the opening page of this forum and no from some warez site..... :thumbup:

NSIS installers always have these issues... the mean spyware/malware scanners should give them a break! :P

I know, I use NSIS most of the time. My sig has a few links below.
