New virus, Avast missed it but both..
« on: November 03, 2003, 05:03:36 AM »
..AVG and TrendMicro's Housecall interface found it.

http://www.webattack.com/download/dlcompusec.html -- This is the link to where an auto-download will start containing the .zip file which holds the two infected files (flp_mbr.bin and mbr.bin).

Just to let the right people (developers) know about a virus that Avast missed in case you'd like to update your scanner?

Possible False alarm from AVG and trendmicro! :)
That are some Bootsector images.

I tested the download with F-secure 5.41 fully updated..

No detection at all.

F-secure uses Kaspersky, F-Prot, Orion (heuristic) engines simultain.

If none of these reacts, download must be safe.

Avast missed nothing :)

Kind regards,

Waldo
