    From your screenshot of Kaspersky Online Scanner, I can see that the file is corrupted. In this case, it is perfectly normal if some AVs do not detect the malware in that file (tell me, if the file is corrupt, how will the malware in that file execute?) :)

    Its just that some vendors may choose not to detect malware in corrupt files (maybe because of performance reasons), because if the file is corrupt it wouldnt execute anyway. :)

    Did you try any other online scanner? Y'know, like Trend Micro's housecall, or something? :)

    To be more correct....the file that was removed by the Wilders staff was virus.rar.txt....which contained 3 files....one of which was TFTP1448.exe

    Granted....TFTP1448.exe at the moment is not picked up by a number of AV's....but given adequate time....it will be in their respective databases. Of course....if the timely updating of AV signatures has become a race to some folks....it is indeed a sad commentary of where priorities are.

    If Trend, Panda and other online scanners also say the file is corrupted, then it IS corrupted.......

    Well, I am not an expert at this, but upon disassembly of TFTP1448.exe, the header states the wrong file size and the disassembler I used stated that the file is not a windows executable. Both of these imply that the file is indeed corrupt and should not be able to execute. However I did not try that :D , so I would warn you not to try it either ;) ...

    To verify whether the file actually was corrupt or not, I set up a sandbox and tried to execute it from there. The file would not execute. Kaspersky was right that the file is corrupt. It can not run on windows. So basically it is a junk file, that no AV needs to find as it is not a "live" executable file or a threat.

    Actually....as puff-m-d said....the file you're so hung up on is basically garbage and am thank-ful to those AV's that correctly diagnosed that fact. The BIG problem you should be concentrating on and hoping your AV correctly catches is the MHTMLRedir.Exploit html file....which contains a bee hive load of goodies.

    Norton detected and cleans that exploit since way back (MHTMLRedir.Exploit)

    If you can send the sample to heuristik [at] antivir.de, I can have a look at the file and check how exactly it is corrupted. I think it is just cut off at the end, as some malware fails to transfer itself completely sometimes. Depending on how the scanner detects malware (signature/crc, without/after unpacking), the detection will fail.

    Detection doesn't mean the same is still working. When you have a look at the collection of various testers, you will find tons of corrupted/garbage files.
    BTW, KAV is top in detecting those garbage files - they add detection for everything, even if it doesn't make sense at all. Just to pump up the detection rate for those badly performed tests.

    As I suspected, the file simply got cut off. The original file size was 138.752 bytes (the sample has 60.416 bytes). The entry point, import table and IAT are outside the physical file limits, the file cannot launch at all and is completely destroyed.

    From the remaining structures I would guess it was compressed with Molebox.

    It's an expression, and you can see from his quote that he's saying this to Firecat, not to you.
