Default Malware or False Positives?

Hi everyone,

I was hoping some people on the forum could check some files for me to see if they are malware or false positives? These were originally detected by avg free on a family members computer along with 15 other possible malware i believe. I then tried a scan using avira and it found a total of 21 malware. 11 of these malware the same as what avg detected and the rest were new detections. 4 files that avg detected were not detected by avira. Then i tried a scan with gdata and it also detected 21 files. 19 of these were the same as what avira caught and 2 of them were ones that avg caught. Now I have determined that the 2 files which gdata found that avira couldnt find indeed are malware files based on where i got them from and gdatas detection. So now I have a set of 4 files which I want to find out if they are false positives or malware. avg detected all four of these, avira detected 2 of them and gdata didnt find any of the 4.

I have added the files to .zip and uploaded them. If someone could please take a look that would be great. Here is the link: ~ Removed Link to Possible Malware as per Policy ~

nineine, it's against policy to place links to posssible malware and I had no choice but to remove your link.

Perhaps a review of this Wilders thread If you are currently infected might be in order.

You could also upload the suspicious files to VirusTotal and see what results the scanners used on that site offer up.
