    Nod32 has just quarantined both adobe flash (in memory) and CdBurnerXp.
    I have tried fresh downloads and these are blocked by NOD32.

    Could this be a false positive or is Adobe infected?
    Nod32 4.2.58.3
    Update 5322 (20100729)

    I've just downloaded the second file you linked to, and NOD quarantined it for me too (sig 5321).

    Could someone try a fresh adobe flash install and see if nod32 traps it. Please update nod database 1st.

    Thanks

    Kryptik.BNX is an old detection so it must be they have recently changed something in the code or added new binaries to the package that triggered detection. Please update to the latest signature version 5322 to fix the FP.

    With signature version 5322, just tried to download latest version of Flash Player from Adobe website and installation failed. Two variants of Win32/TrojanDropper.Agent OVE trojan quarantined in respect of flashplayer and nos objects.

    Number of blocked attacks: 8. Detected flash files as threats, LOL. And yesterday I wanted to install Kane & Lynch 2 Demo from Steam, and NOD32 detected it as threat during installation...

    You expect me to say that it is torrent downloaded pirated software so you can blame the bad haxx0rz for this false positive? It is from a nice and shiny retail box.
    Eset confirmed false possitive and it is working on a fix.

    Assuming the Adobe Flash Player detections are false positives, and once ESET has done the necessary fix, should I just delete the quarantined items and re-download Flash Player? Or has the quarantine corrupted any files which need to be removed first?

    Confirmed the FP detection of Adobe Flash:

    D:\Adobe Flash Player\Uninstaller 2010_06_10\uninstall_flash_player.exe - a variant of Win32/TrojanDropper.Agent.OVE trojan

    MD5:

    The file D:\Adobe Flash Player\Flash Version 10_1_53_64\install_flash_player_ax.exe has the following Checksum(s)
    MD5 - 9B9089FE6CB9690BAA4B8297DB004083

    The file D:\Adobe Flash Player\Uninstaller 2010_06_10\uninstall_flash_player.exe has the following Checksum(s)

    Yep, it is fixed with 5323 :thumb:

    I did a right-click scan with the new database 5323 on my folder D:\Adobe Flash Player (where my Adobe Flash installers and uninstallers are located), and no more warning.

    Thanks ESET for the quick fix :)

    PS: I don't have CDburnerXP so cannot tell about that one.

    Edited to add:
    I will later do a full system scan

    cdburnerxp now fine too.

    Thanks Eset for being so quick off the mark. 1st time this has happened in the many years I have been using nod32. At least it did not attack system files like other AV software has done.

    Thanks to all for confirming and raising the profile of this issue.

    Referring to my earlier posts (nos. 5 & 13), I re-downloaded Flash Player and it installed OK. Should I now delete the 3 quarantined items from the previous failed download/installation?

    I guess you can do so, if you like and if those files are still there in the quarantine.

    Still getting false positive for "OVE Trojan" in 5324, but different files :D (including svchost.exe sys file, which I made sure is a clean one).
    Reported to eset.

    1, I can't see any such report of FP sent to samples[at]eset.com
    2, detection with that name causing FP was completely removed in update 5323 so there's no chance it would be reported with newer versions
