I need help from a downloading from utorrent

Viruses and worms
1

Hello everybody

I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat 9.0 from utorrent, but when I tried tu setup the program, a Win32:trojan-gen appeared.

I don’t think the program is infected and it’s the second time it happens to me…I decided to click in “no actions” when the warning message appeared in my screen, but anything happened.

I don’t know if the file is infected actually or maybe is a problem of Avast.

Thank you

Maybe you could send this file to http://www.virustotal.com , just to get other opinions about the file?

Could you please, post the results here?

Thanks for your time,

If you mean a crack version of Acrobat Pro, then I would expect it to contain a virus.

A trojan horse is defined as something nasty wrapped up in a pretty package

I would suspect that Avast is correct

I too would believe avast is correct.

I would have to question why you would use utorrent when you can download from a trusted/known source than use an unknown source over utorrent ???

Unless as suggested this isn’t the acrobat reader and I believe that version 9 is out of date and vulnerable.

hey…rebe…cracked…pirated software are bad both for ethical health and pc’s wellbeing but incase you still want’t to delve into this quagmire do a few things…

  1. utorrent in p2p shield of avast is unchecked by default so customise p2p sheild by ticking utorrent. This would save downloading large infected files as avast will warn you as and when you download and not after you finish and try to execute.
    2.get free virtualization programmes like sandboxie…returnil and execute these torrent files in them first
    3.get free mbam or sas for a second opinon when aprehensions of something being wrong lurk in your mind.
    but try avoiding risky downloads…
