Avast Reports MrBlack-BH trojan in Ubuntu Linux

I’m using Ubuntu 15.1, ClamAV, and Avast. Avast reports the “busybox” file (/bin/busybox) to have the ELF:MrBlack-BH trojan. The AskUbuntu Forum reports this as a false-positive, and www.virustotal.com shows Avast as the only one of 56 different scan engines to detect this. So… either Avast has got the drop on everyone else, or it’s a false-positive. Can anyone confirm?

Similarly, Avast reports the JS:ScriptSH-inf trojan in the ClamAV databases… “real or not real?”

You mean virustotal.com. ;)

The ClamAV detection is of course a Classic program conflict, result of running multiple AV

Report it to avast as a (possible) false positive

Multiple scan engines… yep, they can conflict… and some Doctors don’t appreciate obtaining “second opinions” of their prognosis either. Given the location of the reported bugs, I suspect the problem is just conflicting programs, but then it could still be prudent to check nes pas?

If you want a secondary problem free scanner, use Malwarebytes

Hello,
