Title: Vírus win32:pup-gen
Post by: Alcir on April 29, 2012, 03:07:33 AM
O Avast sempre me notifica sobre o vírus win32:pup-gen, mas, ao tentar removê-lo para a quarentena (assim como excluí-lo), aparece a seguinte mensagem: erro: o Sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado (2). Ao iniciar novo escaneamento, o Avast sempre o localiza, mas não consegue removê-lo. Como devo proceder?

Buenos  Alcir,

Following is the google translation to english of above post:

Avast always notifies me about the virus Win32: pup-gen, but when trying to remove it to Quarantine (and delete it), the following message appears:  Error:  System cannot find the file specified (2).  When starting a new scan, Avast always finds it, but can not remove it.  How should I proceed?
Never delete.  If possible, always place in quarantine.  If the file is determined to be clean later, you can always restore it.  You cannot do this when delete is chosen, file is gone forever.
You can also post here in the non-english zone if you wish:  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=21.0 (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=21.0)

EDIT:  Update post.

On further analysis, see this thread about [PUP] alerts:  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93372.0 (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93372.0)

As Pondus says, PUP scan is off by default in the normal quick/full scan.  You have to turn it on to get this alert.

but it is on in boot scan........
so is it a boot scan you are using?
and what is the name / location on the file detected?

O Avast detecta esse win32:pup-gen quando faço escaneamento completo ou escaneamento de inicialização boot, mas não consegue colocá-lo em quarentena. O arquivo infectado é C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-2557965090-2794394387-507434409-1007\$RX4XUYZ.msi|>disk1.cab|>Isass.exe. Não consigo encontrar esse arquivo no windows explorer.
Aguardo ajuda.

Avast detects this win32: pup-gen when I scan or full scan boot boot, but can not put it in quarantine. The infected file is C: \ $ Recycle.Bin \ S-1-5-21-2557965090-2794394387-507434409-1007 \ $ RX4XUYZ.msi |> disk1.cab |> Isass.exe. I can not find this file in windows explorer.
I wait for help.
Hope this helps others to follow along.  Note that Pondus was right, seems detection is either on normal scan or Avast! boot scan.
