My wow account was hacked this weekend and after this I have been trying to find out whether i’m infected by anything or not ???
Avast is up and running, claiming everything is updated and can find no viruses on a full scan
On Blizzards request I ran a secondary virus checker, I am unable to download from Kasparsky, getting a 404 on all their trial versions, but managed to run Mcafee Freescan. This resulted in a Generic.dx, which avast refuses to find, even if I scan the file directly,
I have avast on the machine, it is updated and running
I have made a full scan of the machine using avast, coming out clean
I have used mcafee freescan to get a secondary opinion on request of Blizzard, which return an infected file with Generic.dx, but it will not remove it(requests me to buy their full antivirus kit)
On request by Gargamel360 I ran malwarebytes, which did not find anything
I rerun Mcafee after that, it claims that the Generic.dx is still in that file
a sorry did not see that. it can be a McAfee FP
You can upload the file to www.virustotal.com and have it tested by 42 virus scanners ( max 20mb )
when you have the result copy the URL in the address bar and post it here
Well it isn’t clear cut, under normal circumstances I would say yes, that is enough to consider the detection good.
However, virtually all the detections are generic or heuristic, which are more prone to false positive, but for that many to be all wrong would be strange.
Launcher.exe may well have a legitimate purpose, but it could easily be used for malicious purposes and it would be hard to determine intent.
However, in all of this topic you have never said where this file was located (that may help to determine intent) ?
You could also try - Anubis: Analysing Unknown Binaries, is another scanning tool that is useful, Anubis: Analysing Unknown Binaries. Post a link to the results page.
