today i got continuously warning with the title of MALWARE BLOCKED on google.com domain!!
object : hxxp://o-o.preferred.delta-gyd1.v13.lscache1.c.pack.google.com/edgedl/update2/1.3.21.111/GoogleUpdateSetup.exe?cms_redirect=yes
infection : win32:Trojan-gen
process: svchost.exe
AIS v7 Pro
i wanna know if this is a kind of false positive or not ?!
Edited : by clicking the url, it start to download GoogleUpdateSetup.exe and here download got interrupted and warning is shown.
For everyone’s protection (safety), can you please edit and change your link from http to hxxp so it is non-linkable? Thank you.
Thank you for changing the link.
I used some online scanners and these are the results:
Virus Total: CLEAN 0/19
Dr. Web: CLEAN
URL Void: CLEAN
Have you updated Avast and done any scans? If so, which scans have you done and what version and product of Avast are you using? What other security software do you have?
actually i think GoogleUpdateSetup.exe is the reason, user should download it after clicking the url for see a warning.
the latest version of Avast Internet Security Pro (7.0.1426) is running with the last virus database definition (120326-2),
with no other security programs.
tnx

Edited : [b]i disabled avast, then downloaded GoogleUpdateSetup.exe from that url, ran a scan no malware detected and also no detection when i started the file download!! ( by accident i was using a proxy )
then i turned off proxy tried to download from the url, malware detected!!![b]
I got exactly the same problem this morning at 8:50am (GMT) as soon as i navigated to google, avast kept claiming malware download
I also got this. It is quite irritating. My computer is NOT infected. I have run scans and NOTHING showed up.
You may want to put this into MBAM quarantine, where you can always take it out.
Upload this url to Avast and it will be analyzed in the next update; note that you will not get a personal notification regarding this, but I will notify the Avast Team re: the forum thread and they may respond to you here.
Hello,
the file is not detected in current VPS (maybe it was already fixed).

Thank you Milos for the update.
