When i try to run sysclean.exe (“demage cleanup engine” from trendmicro) avast stops it and tells me that it is infected by VBS:Redlof. I have searched this forum and wasn’t able to find any explenation except one that was assuming that it is propably due to a pattern file withih. That doesn’t seem to be true since pattern file has to be downloaded separately therefor it is a diferent file …
May be i haven’t done my homework (i never do) and i missed something but why guys from avast hasn’t deal with this. Because even though avast has recieved 100% from virus bulletin and i am happy for them it doesn’t convince me that it can deal with running worms well since it has overlooked at least one 2 days ago. I don’t like to turn the standart shield off everytime i want to run sysclean.

avast has detected this for some time. best way is to put it in the exclude list as I can guarentee you it is no virus

here is the link
http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/tsc/sysclean.com
and it has found this BKDR_IRCFLOOD.X
it may be nothing 'cause when i checked log file it has removed only few registry keys and they didn’t look harmful to me.
i am sorry if my post sounded little ofensive (haven’t been in good mood yesterday). I use sysclean at work too, even though all computers run officescan from the same company.

I just checked here with Avast version 4.1.396 and vps 0418-2. No virus detected whatsoever in that cleaning prog. Don’t know if Avast and/or Trend changed anything. But I do know I have seen more false reports about the ircflood.x And they where reported by several different anti-virus software. Out the top of my head I have seen Norton (symantec), Trend, nod32 and McAfee reported this false alarm. This is the 1st time I hear aobut Avast reporting it. The reports where about different files/progs. Sofar it is not clear to me how/why but it in the meantime I will consider it a known fact that it happens. Ofcourse being cautious when it reports this backdoor is needed. You never know.
