My Avast isn’t showing anything wrong, but once in a while I run Kaspersky Online Scanner. Last night when I ran it it came up with “Trojan-Downloader.JS.ListensEvent.b”. I wasn’t able to find much about it online at all. Could it be a false positive? Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware aren’t picking up anything either. Thank you so much
i think its a false positive for sure. this happens with the online scanner, “may be” because they(generally all av companys) keep the virus definitions of their online scanner to be light. hence there might be some fps. if you are afraid then you can move it to avast chest and upload it avast by clicking the email to avast icon.
I don’t think you have sent the right file.When Kaspersky found this threat,it should have told you the infected files name and its location. Eg virus.exe in C/windows/system32/virus exe. Its up to you to find that file and upload it.
he might have sent the right file. because of the false positive of the “online scanner” we cant say even the non-online scanner will also detect the same thing. the scanner used by the vt will not be a online scanner. think so… may be he has not uploaded the right file also.
He didn’t send the right file, he sent Kaspersky_Online_Scanner.html which is the onl-line scan page and not the file that it alerted on located on his system.
Why would Kaspersky alert on its own page ???
That is why we asked for the file name and location which was detected and have yet to get.
right click avast tray icon > start antivirus > right click on the user interface > virus chest > user files > add files- browse for files > click email to avast > do a manual update.
Personally I would just delete as it is a temporary internet file, clear your firefox browser cache just to be sure.
I do believe it was a false positive detection by the kaspersky on-line scanner as even it doesn’t detect it in VT and with only one of 41 scanners most likely an FP.
If this were the reverse, e.g. avast was the only one to detect it we would be recommending you report it as a false positive.
Did you actually send F1758EE9d01, on your results it says script. Also why is Kaspersky not flagging this file ? It was the AV that alerted you in the first place ?
may be kas is not detecting because of the reason i posted before. generally online scanners are designed to be light and hence fp’s will be seen. but with the original scanner it might not be the case.
