Ok,
So just as I was starting to love Avast, I download something on Demonoid, and my P2P lets TR/Dropper.Gen right through, I could tell a file was acting weird, so I uninstall Avast, Install my AntiVir Premium, and detection and removal right away? I will still try Avast 5.0
The .gen at the end indicates a generic signature, so that is trying to catch multiple variants of the same type of malware and is a fine balance between detecting a new variant and detecting something valid as infected.
Check the suspect file/s at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner and report the findings here in the topic, the URL in the Address bar of the VT results page. If multiple scanners find these infected send the samples to avast for analysis and inclusion in the virus database.
Send the sample to virus@avast.com zipped and password protected with the password in email body, a reference to this topic (give URL) and undetected malware in the subject.
Or you can also add the file to the User Files (File, Add) section of the avast chest (if it isn’t already there) where it can do no harm and send it from there. A copy of the file/s will remain in the original location, so you will need to take further action and can remove/rename that.
Send it from the User Files section of the chest (select the file, right click, email to Alwil Software). It will be uploaded (not actually emailed) to avast when the next avast auto (or manual) update is done.
The best way to confirm an FP is using a multi-engine scanner and since virustotal currently 41 different scanners.
It may well have been a false positive by avira, but the above really is the best way to confirm or deny that.
I will try that, thank you.
You’re welcome.
