Dropper.Gen and others
« on: June 22, 2008, 02:53:21 AM »
Avast does not detect this, more than 12 month, annoying MSN virus? I had to download avira to detect and get rid of it. I recommend Avast to everyone, so it is a bit disappointing that such a well known worm is not detected. Is it a problem with updates or the heuristics engine?

Anyway, here are the avira details:

So Avast is not detecting viruses, and I can provide information on what it ignores, and not so much as na reason or excuse is provided?

Here is a link to a virus(sent by the virus), detected by avira but not avast.

There is a possibility that this is a false positive detection as only three scanners detect it out of 33 at virus total and one of those is suspicious (likely heuristic detection). So I would say the jury is still out as I also believe that the .gen suffix of the other two detections might indicate generic detections.

No,

No jury is out, it is a virus.

I had a completely clean system, and clicked on a link similar to what I posted, and then contracted the virus. There is now a hidden msn windows which sends out similar links to people in my contact list. This is a real threat(albeit minor), and not open for interpretation. I am surprised so few of the virus scanners detect it though, is it perhaps a very new variant?

In fact more than 3 virus scanners detect it, at least 5

Well that is the file you uploaded now that isn't the virus you are talking about but what it sends and what it sends I have uploaded that to VT and from those results the jury is most certainly out on what it sends.

You need to upload the actual virus to VT or submit it to avast as I have said in the the other topic you started.

Not to mention if it is truly a virus then the link you provided 'could' infect the unwary, so you should modify the post so the link isn't active, e.g. hXXp://cruesquarders.com/2cn5rwfkux7lbv.gif the XX replacing the tt will break an active link but allow humans to access it if required.

That is two more and 1 of those is also suspicious, as I keep banging on, send the sample to avast.

Hi josh000,

The difficulty here is that it is generic detection routine:
"TR/Dropper.Gen

Description:
A generic detection routine designed to detect common family characteristics shared in several variants.

This special detection routine was developed in order to detect unknown variants and will be enhanced continuously."

David,

What I uploaded is the virus, the executable code that infects and starts spreading itself. I have uploaded the virus, the jury is not out, please do not make excuses. It is clear from the context that the link is a virus, but if you don't think it is there is nothing to worry about.

why would I make excuses, I'm an avast user like yourself and I make my comments based on what evidence I see nothing else, you only need to check the forums to see that.

You still haven't modified the active link, so if you are concerned about the fact avast doesn't detect this then you should avoid accidental exposure to other avast users.

Josh, please, edit the live link to malware.
Alwil, please, improve detection.

No reply from the avast devs?

I know this is a generic routine, but it is a simple variant of a virus over a year old, so it should still be detected. Avast does not detect vundo as well, iirc.

This is disturbing to say the least.  I've used this anti-virus for years and it cannot detect this?  Not good fellas.  Not good at all.  And nothing from the developers huh?

Got to drop it then.  I need to trust my anti virus.
