Pando Networks\Media Booster\uninst.exe - Rootkit
« on: January 18, 2012, 07:42:32 PM »
Hello.
Today after scanning my computer Avast! found "mbamswissarmy.sys" to be a rootkit. I was not sure if this was false or not but I closed it and scanned at boot. This time it did not find mbamswissarmy.sys.
Instead Avast! Found "C:\Program Files\Pando Networks\Media Booster\Uninst.exe|>[UPX] - Win32:Rootkit-gen [Rtk]"
I'm not use If I should remove it or not, Do you think this is a false positive? What should I do?
Thank you in advance!

also i think avast released a update a few minutes ago so you can run a manual update and scan again to see if it still detect

Avast! has confirmed that this is a false-positive, and the issue should be fixed with the latest definition file/VPS.
