web shield and shockwave
« on: April 22, 2008, 04:11:08 PM »
I just got a new computer 2 weeks ago, and all last week I was able to download games from shockwave. Now today it causes avast to pop up with trojan horse alarms and won't let me download anything. It said the site was trying to send win32 rbt ftk. I don't know what it means, but when I tried to make the url an exeption in the avast management box, it still did it. Any help would be appreciated, because I do pay for shockwave, and would like to be able to use it.  I run windows vista, have an amd athalon 64 dual core processor tk-53. My internet provider is high speed cable, and it's online all the time. Thanks for any help.

What is the infected file name, where was it found e.g. and full malware name (hxxp://wxw.domain-name/infected-file-name.xxx, malware name) ? 
Check the avast! Log Viewer (right click the avast 'a' icon), Warning section, this contains information on all avast detections.

Note: In the example above the http and www have been changed to hxxp and wxw the link isn't active (clickable, to avoid accidental exposure), but we can see what the site URL is. Please do the same with the URL you post.

Also see, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=34949.msg293440#msg293440, does this match your detection completely ?
