I have a question about a particular virus...

Viruses and worms

My avast! scanner picked up the following Trojan: Neptunia-NH.

Does anyone know what this Trojan can do? I’ve been searching the internet about this kind of Trojan, but all I have been finding are different variants (like Neptunia-NM). Is this a false positive?

Thanks for a response.

Please post the filename and path.

Or If you believe it may be a False Positive you can upload it to www.VirusTotal.com with that many scanners you may get the answer and if you dont want to do that then please do as OldMan said

The best I can do is give you the log entry for it. Also, there are two occurrences of this virus

1st:

Sign of “Win32: Neptunia-NH [trj] has been found in
C:\Documents and Settings\owner\Desktop\Roms and EMulation\1964_099.exe”

1964_099.exe was an installer for an emulator. What was ironic is that it was not detected as a Trojan UNTIL I updated to avast! 4.8. Also, I verified that this site was legit, and that it was safe. So one cannot say that I got careless and downloaded material from an unfamillar 3rd party site

The 2nd is:

“Sign of "Win32:Neptunia-NH[trj] has been found in
C:\System Volume Information_restore{9087B6A4-583A-4EB6-ABF5-1238C5EE26E2}\RP337\A0090701.exe”

Not sure what this instance is about.

I would say that the second detection is the same as the first, except in the system restore. Deal with the first one.

If you moved it to the chest, you will have to extract it to a temporary location. Suggest you create a folder on C:, named whatever you chose.

Open the chest, click the infected file button, right click on the file, select extract. Set the location to the folder you created.

Click this link www.virustotal.com

use the upload a file box on that site to submit the file from the folder you created. Use the browse to navigate to it. Click send and wait for the results.

You can post the results here.

o_O I kind of already deleted it, but I will use this information in the future.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Thanks for further information.

The link you provided leads me to nothing; I got the “file cannot be found” on file share.
