Question Re: False positive

Hello,
Do you have any updates regarding Google Toolbar? I've got the same message a minute ago. Nod32 v4 is not letting me download the Toolbar.
Thanks

Hello,

I just downloaded and scanned the GoogleToolbarInstaller_en_signed.exe file on a computer with ESET Smart Security v4.0.417.0 and virus signature database 4004 and did not receive a report Win32/Genetik trojan.

Are you still receiving a report of a threat on this file? If so, can you tell me which version of ESET Smart Security is installed and what is the version of its virus signature database?

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

I've done exactly the same as agoretsky with the same settings. No threat found.

Default Re: False positive

Will someone please let me know if these are false positives?:

C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TOSAPINS\COMPS1\Synaptics TouchPad Driver (3264bit)0\MANUAL\B27144C.EXE probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan


C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TOSAPINS\COMPS1\User's Guide - Unattended Installation(Satellite L350-L355)0\MANUAL\B28065A.EXE probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

I'm not all that computer savvy and I would appreciate any and all advice. A friend of mine told me it was probably a false positive but I'd really like to know for sure and, also, how to get rid of it. Thanks!

You can check those files in www.virustotal.com and see if others AV's are detecting them as virus.

Hello,

Issue has been reported to the virus lab.

Please perform a manual update of your virus signature database and then re-scan the files. Is a threat still reported?

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
