False positive?
« on: July 08, 2010, 05:02:24 PM »
AIS is blocking the file spx-dxf.exe on this page

hxxp://xaraxtv.at.tut.by/spx.htm

claiming it's a trojan, but I think it's a false positive?

Can Avast confirm this?

There seems to be something else going on at the time of the download of that one file that doesn't happen with the other two, an iframe injection to reddii.org (see below), see image 1 of the decoded script file that is run when you click the spx-dxf.exe link.

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/reddii.org and http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/reddii.org/summary/

avast isn't the only AV scanner to find that script file suspect 24 of 44 scanners (60%), see http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/1ebe1c0f91af0da6a6e73bc0c17b5eef3ecaededcc228f7feb9f62f3daf896a7-1278602534.

So there is if nothing else something strange happening with that download which isn't happening with the other two.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Thanks for your replies. I've contacted the owner of the site, to get him to look into it. I'll report back here when things have been cleared up.

thanks!
