    Yesterday I recieved a Paypal phishing email that was a little better then the usual. Instead of including links asking for my personal info, it wanted me to open a zipped attachment that would show the fraud activity that had occurred on my account. Being in AV testing mode lately, I couldn't help but check out the attachment.

    The interesting part is that Yahoo Mail scanned the download with Norton AV 2006, declared it clean and allowed me to download it. This happened on a machine at work that is also running Norton and did not detect anything. As this was a work machine I put the file on a USB stick and left it alone until I got home.

    Once home I went back to my Yahoo mail account on a machine running KAV6. Yahoo still showed the file as clean and let me begin to download. Kaspersky immediately started squeeling and declared it infected by Win32/TrojanDownloader.Agent.AUM trojan. My laptop running NOD32 detected the same.

    I am thankful for good AV programs like KAV and NOD32! Many of my friends and relatives would have taken Norton/Yahoo's word that this was clean and opened it up. Frankly I am surprised that not all AV programs would detect this. Here is what virus.org had to say about the file:

    Scanner Scanner Version Result Scan Time
    ArcaVir 1.0.3 Clean 1.00597 secs
    avast! 2.0.0 Clean 0.0270441 secs

    VirusBuster 2005 1.2.4 Trojan.DL.Agent.PMJ 1.43007 secs

    By the way, today Yahoo mail is also detecting this as malware and won't let me download this attachment. :cautious:

    No worries! I pre-empted all of my friends and family's clicking habits long ago with NOD32, and in a couple of cases Bitdefender. And as much knowledge as each was willing to take in. None have been infected in years. I occasionally VNC into a few and help with spyware scans too.

    Here is what VirusTotal had to say about this particular file. I am a little surprised that Avast didn't detect anything, I generally like the program. Wish that I had run VirusTotal right after getting the file, I think many are just now detecting this.

    I also use virus.org from time to time because virustotal is always saturated with lots of requests...
