How to report virus rcvd in download?

Hi

What software did you download, will help us test it? just saying "some freeware" is not a great clue.

What Antivirus software are you using? ( helps because some report flase positives in some applciations maily other security applications, especially if your installing a legit keylogger, IP or bandwidth curbing or other covert security app, these types of software are generally seen as malware even tho they are not, its by design )

 

Yes as Halo has indicated, you will need to tell us what application you downloaded. Also which Windows OS are you using?

The route.exe program listed in your first message is a built-in Windows process; however, that does not mean that something could not have infected it or even replaced it with a different copy. That is exactly what Trojan.Patched.V does.

 

route.exe is a MS-DOS Executable from Windows. It is used to block IP connections to the system by added IP addresses to a routing table. This process should not be terminated unless it is causing problems.

 

WHAT WERE THE PROGRAMS????? I also downloaded 8 applications off the EU server today and yesterday with no issues and on two seperate PCs with differing security and antivirus software.

They were also a mix of .exes and .zips so it would help to know what software you downloaded, we cannot trace and fix any potential issues if details are not given, cheers.

 

Thia thread is now CLOSED. You did not get infected by us and I have a few problems with this thread.

1: All of a sudden 2 new people claim to get "multiple" viruses from us. Odd, no one else is getting even one.

2: If these are covert op programs or BIOS programs, most are flagged as viruses. If you do not know this, you should not download from these categories.

3: Neither of you have told us the names of these "files". Be specific and we will look into it. Just name a few. It will take about an hour for people to respond and tell you the files are clean.

4: Which brings me to your most likely problem. Your already infected and these downloads are being hit by this infection. If your downloading anti-virus or anti-malware apps, then it is quite possible you know your infected and attempting to launch these apps may be flagging as the infection you have is appearing as it tries to shut them down.

If you care to name some specific files, then please start a new thead so we can actually INVESTIGATE it, otherwise, I am instructing my mods to delete any threads without specifics.

 

P.S as suspected, I found comments on this virus like this:

"I just recently got the same virus, I didn't realize it though until it had taken over every .exe file on my computer, across three hard drives."

This supports my comments above that you werem infected in advance and your spreading it as you open new executables.

And be more careful accusing people in the future.

 

P.S.S Also, mirrors auto mirror from 1 server every hour, so if the file was infected, would be overwritten with a clean one.
