just started using avast 4 free home edition ( used it before) which is a nice program but after downloading a certain program called Tbot i then ran a complete scan and according to avast the program file (rar) was clean and after opening the rar the avast resident shield did not detect any problems.
But i decided to run the file through virustotal and the results show - Generic7.JPT ive heard this is a back door trojan yet i cant find any info on it , on most antivirus websites including this one. im just worried that if this is a well know trojan how is it that avast does not detect it on my pc ?
I would say the jury is most certainly still out on this one as only two scanners detected anything and one says suspicious and the other says generic. Suspicious could imply some sort of heuristic detection and generic could be a signature trying to catch more than one malware variant with the same signature detection. Both of these methods are more prone to false positive detections.
Is this some sort of crack ?
The reason I ask when trying to do a google search for the file name there is an option with a different last 4 digits that has crack behind the auto search options.
A google search for only the file name only returns one hit and that is for a cached page and that mentions cracks.
This file is actually a Pay-to-use Bot program for Silkroad online MMO game , there are cracked versions (which i would never download) but this one is the original and supposedly safe from www.bot258.com
Well still only two the one suspicious one returns again with the same heuristic detection. The other detection by Ikarus I don’t know if I would call it a main stream AV.
The interesting one being AVG which no longer detects the latest version.
If it is legit then there is less of a likelihood the usual crack version which is more likely to come with an unwanted gift. So I would say it is likely to be a false detection, however I don’t know enough about what the Turbo Bot does to say if that is correct.
