    I'm using ESS6.0.316.0 (with Virus DB 8376)..and yesterday a dowloaded I compressed file (.rar)..then I scanned it and ESS6 said it's clean...but after a while I noticed that a new process named "antivirus.exe" (trojan threat) is running in my system (it modified my windows registry to unsure its running at every system startup) and it connects to a remote server,then causes the system to reboot after a random time (after 1-5 minutes).

    And after a long struggle ..the ESS6 startup scanner finally detected "a suspicious file" running (it cleaned it & the threat is quarantined):

    %Temp%antivirus.exe a variant of MSIL/Packed.CodeWall.A

    But the problem is :
    * If I scan the infected file...then the result tells that it's clean.
    * If I try to send this file to samples@eset.com via MS outlook..that's when ESS6 Email filter detects and clean the trojan.

    So, is there any explination to this matter?

    Hi,
    Was it a double zipped file.?
    Threats are often quite difficult to detect with a scan when the file is double zipped.

    When scanning the disk, did you enable detection of suspicious applications? When submitting detected malware, protect the archive with the password "infected" so that it's not detected by other protection modules.

    Yes.."detection of suspicious applications" is enabled.


    I did as you suggested..and Eset team said that they'll include this threat in the next signature update.

    They definded the threat as: MSIL/Bladabindi.O trojan
