Hi,
I just ran a scan on my computer and Avast reported a file with the extension .nrg as a virus. I don’t think this is a virus. It is a mirror of installation disks. I installed the program two years ago and I don’t think it is a virus…???
Thanks,
As Tech pointed out, it’s probably waaaay to big to test. Hopefully Alwil will see this and advise you.
Hi oldman,
This could have been part of a multifile torrent file, could be a FP or something that came with the torrent,
polonus
I think it will be a big file to submit it for analysis as it is “a mirror of installation disks”.
nrg seems to belong to Nero, am I wrong?
Hope they correct the false positive. Which is the name of the virus detected?
Whoa, you’re right Tech, it’s probably to way too big to submit or send to avast. I’ll edit my post about submitting the file. :-X
Not sure if it’s nero, I’ll check. 
Hi oldman,
A .NRG extension is either a Norton Registration entry (highly unlikely considering the source and filename) but more likely here a Nero CD Image.
If there is a double extension (nrg.exe) this is also highly suspicious considering the source of the file (ie the internet, I’m also assuming you got this as a P2P software download). P2P downloads are rife with virii with .exe or .com extensions.
We have to establish this,
polonus
It said “A trojan was detected.”
And yes, it was a downloaded torrent file (an image), but it was installed and has been working fine for four years now.
This is the actual name it came up with: Win32:Agent-ONH(Trj)
Is it still bein detected? How big is the file?
616 MB.
:-[
But Nero CD Image can be opened via something like Daemon Tools or burned. So probably file in question itself is not too large.
If you open the file (mount it) and scan the new drive created, like psw said, it won’t be a large file (hopefully).
Actually, it was more of a retorical question. The 615MB file is a large program consisting of many, many files. As I said, I’ve been using the program for many years now and just left the mirrored file on my computer in case I needed it in the future.
I was just wondering why Avast reported it as a virus.
Jim ???
Our answers were not retorical either… I mean, if it is a big single file, just add it to the exclusion lists and it will be ok. Hopefully, further false positive will be corrected and you can remove the file from the exclusion lists.
OK. Thanks for the help. I’ll exclude it.
Aloha,
Jim
