is this a virus or false positive?
« on: June 30, 2005, 11:14:39 AM »
I decided today to run a scan on my computer using antivir:

It found TR/Drop.Delf.DJ.2 in location:

C:\Windows del.tmp

I then checked the file against jotti`s (results below)

AntiVir  Found TR/Drop.Delf.DJ.2 
ArcaVir  Found nothing
Avast  Found nothing
AVG Antivirus  Found nothing
BitDefender  Found nothing
ClamAV  Found nothing
Dr.Web  Found nothing
F-Prot Antivirus  Found nothing
Fortinet  Found nothing
Kaspersky Anti-Virus  Found nothing
NOD32  Found nothing
Norman Virus Control  Found nothing
VBA32  Found nothing


I also ran a scan with trend micro that found nothing as well.

Is it worth sending the file to avast? Or should i consider this to be a false positive?

Antivir and Avira are using the same Database,  you should send the file to virus(at)antivir.de and Avast, if you want. Antivir will fix the false alarm, or Avast will add it to the detection. It depense on what it is!!:)
