False positive of Naomi filter
« on: October 20, 2007, 06:53:22 PM »
For sure a false positive. I've sent this to you a long time ago. This is the an Internet filter software. Please, correct the detection. I've sent the file twice to you. One more than one month ago...

At least, the Portuguese (Brazilian) version is being detected as having Win32: Trojan-gen{Other}

Most strange as this has been around for some time and DrWeb doesn't find anything in the English setup file.

I hope what Maxx_original said about filtering submissions from the chest (which I already though was happening) will get more prompt action as they are on peoples systems, especially when they are False Positives.

It would be nice if we could submit a URL to VT or Jotti for scanning instead of having to upload it.

OK I paused the web shield and downloaded setup-en.exe from the URL you gave and no detection by ashQuick.exe (all my downloads are scanned) and detection by Standard Shield. So this doesn't seem to be a problem with the English installation file.

What is the exact file it is alerting on ?

I'm sure you are right, but it seems no one likes that particular file.  :-\  ???

I too would think it is an FP however, there is most certainly something that they don't like in that file. The strange thing is such a wide range of names, that could be a different type of trojan infection, malware, backdoor, agent, downloader, weird.

I would suggest a message to Naomi (if you haven't already) to see if they are aware of it and if there is anything that differs from the other language versions.

The developer stopped his work due to lack of budget and financial support.
They tried to buy and make Naomi shareware. He resisted bravely.
I'll try to find a way to say this to him.

Which makes it even more strange if there has been no development since 2006 then nothing should have changed.

All language mutation of Naomi filter was added to our "clean set". False positive alert was found in file naomf.exe in these setup files: setup-br.exe, setup-tr.exe.
FP alert will be corrected in next VPS update.
