SmartCOP detected 6 viruses NOD32 missed

i have used a utility called SmartCOP to detect viruses
and it found 6 viruses NOD32 missed
any idea about this utility and how reliable can be
Smartcop can be found here
http://www.s-cop.com/
and i have used their SmartCOP Virus Scanner which is free utility
the utility is very simple and fast and it doesn't need even installing
just unzip and scan

fcuk me what a fugly gui

 

Their download is corrupted. Plus i suspect false positives accordint to your screenshot...

 

From the looks of it... those detections are possible false positives. Submit those files (if you still have a copy of them) to something like Virustotal/ Jotti's online malware scanner... im almost certain most if not all will come back CLEAN.

Remember no one scanner can detect 100% of malware.

 

hi tahoma,
the gui isn't the issue, i am concerned about the result
you can get the scanner from here
http://www.s-cop.com/free-scanner.html

try it if you are interested, i bet you will find something

 

i disagree, the gui is the main issue here

 

it wouldn't be the main issue if it detects viruses in your machine would it?
does any of you who replied gave it a shot?
i am curious

 

From what i see BSPlayer's exe is supposed to be infected?As far i as i know you can only dowload it from the dev's site (secondary sites simply link to his) and i use it myself and it's definitely not infected.

 

Why do i always get corruped ZIP archive? Can someone re-compress it with RAR/7zip and send it to me rejzor[at]gmail.com

 

RejZoR, same problem downloading here - comes as a download of 32kb?

 

C:\Program Files\WinRAR\Default.SFX is a virus? I think not.

Seems like SmartCop isn't very Smart.

 

alien x,

did you tried these files in Jotti's online malware scan and Virus Total?

Regards

 

I think we can forget it, I always get corrupted ZIP archive too.

 

It's a corrupted zip. Thread seems like a sales plug anyway.

 

I'm not interested, unknown company, no (independent) tests available, and found some faked user reviews written by the company itself.

Conclusion: bad stuff and bad company, keep hands off!

 

Dont trust this Anti-Virus, please. I wouldn't trust it no matter how much they advertise it!

The only Indian company I know of, which didnt use cheap tricks to make people buy their software, is MicroWorld.

Dont touch this software with a ten-foot pole!

 

well, i have scanned one of the files (File: bsplayer122.817.zip) which Smartcop said it is infected using the virustotal web site and this is the result:
Virus Total

Well, Mr. "Ninja Master" they look like FP's to me as well. I'm scanning at the moment and it's turned up 2 FP already.

 

Given the results you posted, its clearly a false positive. Also, keep in mind when it comes to computer security, it's best to go by the motto " it's bad until proven good."

 

Hi,

False Postives can ofen cause more problems than viruses. Users, without knowing, can delete very important entries in their system making a system unusable and sometimes unrecoverable (just like a virus). Pest Patrol is an example of a well-know product that has excessive FPs. I think it is best to stay away with products that have too many FPs - though some FPs are unavoidable in all products, especially if it uses heuristics.

I'm sure 99% of folks here want to see SmartCOP succeed. We all benefit when a truly effective AV enters the competitive market.

Ergo, a friend of SmartCOP should advise them that they have to BUILD a reputation -- not merely *proclaim* how good they are. For instance, sign up with Jotti as VBA32 has done; hand out free licenses to reputable testers such as Comparatives. Etc.

 

Beware. After scan completion, I have noticed some problems. However, I have not determined the source. I had an lsass.exe problem (shut down computer) now sunasservalert.exe is starting repeatedly every second.

Smart cop detects viruses Every AV misses

 

Maybe only FPs methinks.............


Cochise,

 

I too tried it out and had the two infections you reported (Multibot Pro and Sobig.F), so it looks like the source is definitely the SmartCop free scanner. It's a good thing I had other capable products guarding my PC whilst trying it out. Worrying...
