Title: actskin4.ocx
Post by: boesdad on May 17, 2005, 05:47:03 PM

when running Ewido security suite, it flags actskin4.ocx as malware
containing backdoor.superstar.21

I delete actskin4.ocx and downloaded it from another site. get the same results.

any idea what backdoor.superstar.21 is?

I submitted that file to Ewido earlier today and they confirmed that it is a false positive and will be fixed soon.
