win32.hacktool.toolevld
« on: September 20, 2007, 09:12:24 PM »
win32.hacktool.toolevld was found by adaware but not Avast, it could be that adaware has a false positive as my computer has been clean for a while, I cleaned (deleted) it with adaware so I'm unable to send it for analysis, dont know whether this info would be useful to the Alwil team

EDIT: just read lavasoft message boards and it appears that they and some others have categorised it as malicious although the program was actually to enable more tcp/ip connections on XP computers, they are currently debating whether it should be classified as malware or not

If you have Quarantined into adaware, it would be useful as you could restore for further investigation and for sending to Alwil team for analysis.

Another reason for Quarantine... first do not harm.
