2 out of several dozen programs call Panda Cloud installer infected. Take seriously?

Discussion in 'Software' started by conceptualclarity, Aug 15, 2013.

  1. Avast! tells me Panda Cloud Cleaner Installer is infected with Win32:VB-CUN [Trj] and Hate-971. I scanned it on Virus Total Scan, Jotti, and Metascan. (Too big a file for VirScan.) I also scanned it with Spybot, WinMHR, and IObit Malware Fighter. The only other hit was Ikarus claiming it has Virus.DOS.Pathhunt.

    Should I take this seriously or consider it just another of the many false positives one encounters?

    Panda Cloud Cleaner is an on-demand scanner, not an AV.

    Do you have the virustotal link for it, that might help us shed some light on it.

    Where did you download it from?

    I ran it on the VT app, but the URL for the online scan is at https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...03b84f633329972d879e3d65a716d675208/analysis/. Note that Ikarus doesn't flag it there.

    The Ikarus flag may be found at http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanresult/1287a91ab0f923c6d5cc1fefadc28c9db67a80b3.

    I am close to 100% certain I downloaded it from the Panda site in keeping with my preference for downloading from program authors' sites.

    That looks fine to me, I'd say they were FPs. Emsisoft calls it clean here: http://www.isthisfilesafe.com/sha1/9FF5143F86216A563DC7AD5141F1CEECBCC7AFAD_details.aspx

    Checking the Additional info and File info tabs in VT frequently comes up with useful info:

    Thanks, satrow. Is Emsisoft your AV?

    No, it's not - but having tested it several times, last week being the latest, I do have quite a lot of faith in it.

    Did you test it in comparison to other AVs?
