VBS Flufferminer -D[Trj] detected

[Drfunk]

Is this a positive? New but joined to ask about this as i currently seem to have it. I did a little looking up about it, the first page of google hits says the virus is pretty malicious, except for on here? Also what's a VPS update? Thanks

I'm also having the same problem. I did a virus scan on Virustotal and Avast is the only one that seems to think the file is a virus. I haven't done anything to the file as everything points to a FP.

the update VPS 131115-1 fixed the problem.
this file is not already flagged by avast

Can we Avast users please get confirmation from Avast that this was a FP (FALSE POSITIVE) so we can go back to our daily activities? That would be very helpful.

Well I just updated Avast with VPS 131115-1. So everything should be fine per Jefferson Santiag.

Hi Drfunk,

Welcome to the forums.

Your question is a little bit off topic, as this topic is about a possible false positive report as in the topic header.  But as you may be new here, see below:  ( You can always start your own topic and ask any question you may have there.)   

Sorry you've had to ask twice about this.  VPS is likely an acronym for Virus Pattern Signature, otherwise known as the virus database avast! will issue to all users once or twice a day, as needed.  Must admit the VPS acronym may be off a bit, as cannot readily find documentation on this per avast!, or maybe have not looked in the right places, but the vps is the daily virus database update avast uses to update virus definitions.

Beginning with version 7.0, streaming updates were introduced, and as program builds have progressed over time, streaming updates became more frequent and now have priority over the standard vps updates issued once or twice a day.  Streaming updates are now issued up to 10 x an hour or more with version 9.0, the better to keep up with the newest and latest developing threats.

VPS virus database updates now are used primarily to clean up false positive alerts and any corruption or duplication by avast!.  In other words, this is when all prior streaming updates are consolidated and cleaned up, if needed, and all this is done at the same time when that vps is released.

As you already know the problem is solved, I did the same but I think it was a waste of time.

I ask myself about this "FP" cause of threat localizations : "Temp\_avast_", and then "Defender/scans"... strange...
But seems all is ok now after some deep scans.  Thanks to devs for their reactivity

A FP is a False Postive. Meaning it was wrongfully detected as a virus.
