SecurePro.exe - question re if it's okay

Viruses and worms
1

Hi, am new to this so sorry if I haven’t done it right!

Have looked on your intro pages and followed instructions for how to check if a file is false positive or not so here’s my answers to those main questions:

  1. Threat detected when routinely opening up the .exe for my encrypted USB drive.
    Have not had this message before. Message came from Behaviour Shield.

  2. File source: Verbatim software pre-installed on USB drive

  3. Recieved when I purchased USB, 2 years ago

  4. Filename: SecurePro.exe

  5. Screenshot should be attached.

  6. Manually scanned SecurePro.exe with Avast and all okay - nothing detected.

  7. Virus total scan result: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d917b66603d07b08c6276c57a84c3de566a611de172360b873d734f85d40769c/analysis/1494840457/

MD5: 15a8be1ff16282b1745d8934180ab5c9

I guess it should be fine but I hope you understand I am nervous as I have 8 months of academic work backed up on it as well as on my laptop… I think this whole thing with the cyber-attacks in the news has made me paranoid haha.

Anyway some reassurance would be appreciated as I really want to back up the latest copy of the file I’m working on but am scared to open it… and I have to hand in this file tomorrow. Don’t want a last minute nasty surprise.

Many thanks in advance, SG

Thanks for the reply. I assume it is a false positive then? I have reported it on that link, thanks!
