Cain and Able Trojan reported

Re: New to MG Forums

Thanks for the info. We'll look into it.

Welcome to the forums.

 

Hi

Thanks for the notification, however this is a false positive as this application like many other ones in similar ilk to deal with password cracking, packet sniffing of network data etc cab be flaged by some AV application as malware as mention due to there design.

Avast tends to pick this app up as Win32:Cain-b[tool], doesn't now in latest version iirc, but other avs could pick it up as other names, but well documented that this is a legit network admin tool, similar to legitimate keylogging tools.

All downloads on Majorgeeks are tested for their quality and being malware free, which is why we have a selection of software and not everything that's available to be downloaded like many sites.


Many thanks for the post but honestly this app is fine and legitimate, btw what is your antivirus software that flagged this?
