    Hi
    I have this file in the WS_FTP Pro folder and only one AV seem to detect it as "malware". See the below analysis from jotti's site.
    My question is
    -Could this be a FP?
    -What is modification of Win95.Werther.1224o_O
    Only the good doctor has picked this up, hence my question.

    Thanks for your response.
    Cheers :)

    in my experience it isnt a virus if kav says it isnt. best way to get a quick reply is (also in my opinion) to send it to newvirus@kaspersky.com - usually u get a reply within a couple of hours

    To anyone who maybe interessted.
    I got a e-mail reply from Kav

    "Hello. That is a false positive of Dr.Web antivirus."

    So far, no response from Dr. Web, so I will assume that this file is ok, and the good doctor had a hiccup.

    Thanks for your feedback.
    Cheers :)

    Does KAV test with Dr.Web or have relations with Dr.Webo_O

    Maybe it can be called an FP b'coz it may contain virus code from Win95.Werther but it musta been modified so the file is harmless now. At least thats the way I figure it.
