Amiga emulated games form thecompany.pl
« on: November 02, 2013, 03:41:56 PM »
For a long time now I have problems with Amiga emulator and games downloaded from thecompany.pl web site. Avast always finds some Win32:Adware-Gen (so, something suspicious, OK), but when I upload file to virustotal, Avast doesn't react there, and of 40 or so AV programs, only 2 or 3 reacts with something generic.
Try, for example, this:
http://thecompany.pl/game/Walker
You can't even download it.

Please, research some of these and if there is adware there, name it, don't just get generic name :) and I am sure there isn't anything dangerous, just preconfigured Amiga emulator with amiga games packed into self extracting file.

It is not about the file(s), it is about that IP. It is marked as risky (blacklisted) by one or more resources.

No, it's the file:

Infection Blocked
URL:   http://thecompany.pl/download/58/1
Infection:   Win32:Adware-gen [Adw]

I can download the file when turning off File Shield, but when I scan the file, Avast deletes it.
I don't really want to play games with shields disabled. I want the problem fixed.

Seems that particluar file is not too safe (VirusTotal - https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/c948a02d0ec0508e111c01dd163c82efa8ce2ae65fb636932c84c413908b7c8b/analysis/1383948034/).  Other files from that site download fine and scan clean; perhaps some files do have PUPs in them?  :-\
