General Topics
1

I Hope this is the place to ask this… I download a program called WPE pro and i opened it up saw it can target other programs and well i am thinking it may not be safe to use now it has a .dll file called WinSpy.dll that is attached to the program it targets. so anyways how do i report the .dll and the program itself to avast?

Should I Zip the Files?

Yes.
Also use a password for the archive. (Add PW to your mail)

Hotmail told me i can’t send a infected file.

Edit: It says the file is a unknown Virus

6

did you password protect the zip.file ?

7

I Don’t know how to in windows 7.

if you try to send a file not password protected tru the mail then the spam/virus filter on the outgoing or incoming mailserver will remove/delete the attachment if detected
In your case that will be Trend Micro (Hotmail use TrendMicro) on out/in mailserver, and as you see Trend detect these samples…
and then you have the recivers mailservers if the first did not detect…

by the way avast! 5.0 already detect this if i have tested the same sample

WPE PRO.exe - 38/43

It is easyest if you download and use use 7.zip, then you just right click the file, put in name and password in the box that pop`s up click OK and done

Avast is to date with definitions and it don’t dectect it the site i heard about it was cpcheats.info
Edit: The file that is in the zip folder is calls itself wpepro09x

11

from where did you download it ?

12

McAfee Siteadvisor TOOLBAR says the website is unsafe

13

OK you can remove the download link now

That is the same MD5 as on the samples i tested on VT ?

Sample sendt avast! :wink:

14

Odd Avast isn’t dectecting it for me But I just Turn on windows defender and did a quick scan and it found the files

15

Thanks i will let Windows Defender safetly remove them :slight_smile:

16

Woah! i just went to make Sure avast was updated and it wasn’t :-\ Than i scanned those files that i put in virus chest and avast dectects it
Edit: if i scan the file itself it don’t dectect them but in the virus chest it dectects them

17

Strange thing, opening that zip.file on my avast comp give no avast detection, scanning the file`s no avast! detection ???

MalwarebytesPRO detect both

18

OK avast! have answered my mail … fantastic, that is the first time …Thank You

Hello, thank you for sending samples. They are already detected in current VPS (101030-0). They are detected as PUP -- so you need to enable reporting PUP detections in avast! 5 settings.

So that should explain it :wink:

There should be changes to the VT scanner then, so that it will show when it detect something as PUP

Thanks for the info, Pondus…! :slight_smile:

I would not recommend McAfee SiteAdvisor TOOLBAR as it is un-reliable:
