dose avast detect keylogger?
« on: September 06, 2009, 10:20:33 AM »
I have a perfect keylogger file
i uploaded it to virustotal
about 48 (i don't remember exactly) virus engines detect it except avast
some engines reported that "Not a virus-perflogger...."
this is not a virus and detect it or not depends on the antivirus vender
i just ask to know if avast detect this kind of key logger or not

Can you send the samples to virus@avast.com ?
You can zip and password the files... Inform a link to this thread and the password used.
You can send the files to Chest and, from there, resend to Alwil for analysis.
Thanks.

I've sent it!
hope it will be analyzed soon ;D
@nmb: I've deleted the file so i can't upload to virustotal once again
keeping it is dangerous!

You shouldn't do that. Because in Avast they are slow adding malware, if you sent only once maybe it will never added. i had been sending files for weeks and it had not been added. Sometimes Alwil add it after several weeks of submitions

I would disable the last two links as some people may click on them by mistake/out of curiosity, and then become infected...

Change http to hXXp

It's some download server and you have to put some captcha to allow downloading, so it can't be downloaded by mistake.

This Perfect keylogger is installed with your permission and can be considered as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program).

I didn't know about the captcha, I avoid this kind of site as a rule. I just thought it would be a good idea (still do really), seeing as there are some that will procede to click/download it regardless...In fact I think it should be some kind of rule here really - too many active malware links...especially with webshield detections.

This kind of file, which tries to install without your conscious we detect (if we have samples of course) or i.e. wide spreaded Ardamax keylogger which is used both for legitimate tools and is also added to some cracks, keygens and other "tools".
