Virus in this file?
« on: July 11, 2013, 02:32:58 PM »
Hey, Sorry for bad typing in advanced. This virustotal Link has a 1/47 Detection Ratio. Avast deemed it a PUP file. The only AV that detects it as a real virus is Vipre. I've tried to find the meaning of Rocketfuel Installer (fs) but I've had no luck. Is it a Downloader, Ransomware etc? If someone could explain it a little better that'd be fantastic. Thanks

Michael

Hi alan1998 and essexboy,

Installer comes apparently with adware: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=64122.msg963240#msg963240

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
