Virus Atube_Catcher

[DavidR]

I sent it to the avast team for them to analyze. but how am I going to receive the result, because where I sent it to him there is no way for me to know the result.

Could you tell me how you download videos from YouTube? what tool do you use?

1.  Presumably you would only know if they decided it was suspect if they subsequently detected it (and added it to detections) when you tried to use it or download it again.

2.  Its a browser of sorts but only for YouTube clips called FreeTube. 
Personally I don't use it so much as it isn't as flexible as a conventional browser and using YouTube.

Realmente, so irei saber quando for usar ou fazer o download o programa novamente.
Já em relação ao programa FreeTube eu vou da uma olhada para ver se consigo baixar.

How else would you know, when avast didn't previously detect it, you would only know if it were run or downloaded or possibly if you ran a scan.  Avast doesn't check retrospectively, it doesn't even know you have it until you run it.

See attached screenshot small section of freetube.

How I found out that Atube Catcher is infected.
1- I downloaded it from the website, then I put it on the virustotal website and other tools to do the SCANNING, the vast majority of the tools reported that it was a threat.
2- I scanned the program with Avast and it didn't detect anything. That's how I came to the forum to talk about what happened.

1.  I know that from your previous posts. There are many different classifications on the VT results.
2.  Having reported it to Avast you will have to wait to see if that changes.

It is not infected but comes bundled with crapware/adware

How do you know about this information?
And based on the results of other antiviruses?

Detection names from the VT link you posted. See the name given by Malwarebytes it is self-explanatory
