    Does NOD detect TR/Vundo.Gen bei Signatures, by Heuristik or not at all ? Why does NOD have still such problems with the detection of Trojans?

    NOD32's ThreatSense detects Virtumonde as variants of Conhook. We do not detect the packer as some others might do as we do not want NOD32 produces any FPs just because of packer detection.

    Or you mean this one? NOD32 has not missed a single Busky dll I've seen so far:

    TR/Vundo.Gen (AntiVir)
    suspicious (Fortinet)
    a variant of Win32/TrojanDownloader.Busky.AZ (NOD32v2)
    Troj/Busky-Gen (Sophos)

    As I say, NOD32 has detected all variants I've run into. Here's another one:

    TR/Vundo.Gen (AntiVir)
    suspicious (Fortinet)
    probably a variant of Win32/TrojanDownloader.Busky.AZ (NOD32v2)

    Could you send those files to support @ eset.com with a link to this thread to make sure we talk about the same threats?

    basti, NOD32 improved a lot in Trojan detection. It missed one very rarely. ;)

    yes lodore. ;) They add many defs for them and thanks to their AH almost all future variants and other unknown Trojans are detected right away. :)

    NOD is going to improve this thing also... version 2.7 is the first step (See here )

    Version 3.0 I think will be very good at detecting spywares so in my oppinion there is no need for a stand-alone app for these threats. ;)

    I have NOD32 and Ad-Aware free and everything worked great till now. :)

    sounds great. and btw im not complaining about the long delay for 2.7 and 3.0.

    its worth the wait because it wont be buggy when it comes out unlike bitdefender 10 and kav 6.0 IMO.

    im gonna use that cheaper counterspy offer in the next few days. and then in december buy nod32 and use it with comodo. simple as.

    I had the following infection in two places as detected by Ad-Aware (free):

    Win32.TrojanDownloader.ConHook​
    C:\Windows\System32\gpupgae.dll​

    I scanned it with NOD32 2.5 w/virus definition # 1889 in safe mode, but NOD32 couldn't detect it at all. o_O

    I can't email it to support since Ad-Aware deleted it upon boot up. Any reason why this wasn't detected?

    ~removed Adaware log as per this Announcement....Bubba

    * The restriction on posting unsolicited HijackThis logs also applies to unsolicited ASviewer (Autostart Viewer), Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and other similar product logs.

    Either because it's a false positive or because the AV that detects everything has yet to be invented. :)

    Hi , as far as I know , Ad-Aware se has Quarantine and no infected is deleted , it is just copied there . Can you check if this is true and if so , upload that file to VirusTotal www.virustotal.com

    I ,however , doubt it is real infection but it won't hurt to check . Thanks ;)

    Get,

    Well, I can guarantee you it wasn't a false-positive!

    So you mean to tell me that NOD32 isn't the end-all!? ;)

    The reason I ask is that other people have brought this up in other posts (https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=875629 and at http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t82827.html) earlier this month and way back in 12/2005 (respectively), and I thought that ESET would've added it to the virus definitions (or whatever magic they do to identify it and its variants).

    Don't get me wrong... I love ESET compared to Symantec and McAfee. I'm just curious - that's all.

    HiTech_boy,

    I checked the quarantine and all I saw was the cookies and registry entries that it removed - not the actual file itself. Sorry.

    Yes, I'm sorry, but that's what I was trying to do :(. Btw, there are more than 1 win32/trojandownloader.conhook and Nod recognizes some of them ( win32/trojandownloader.conhook.B, -.C and -.D as far as I know). When you have the -.Z-variant I would suggest some patience. :D
