Hello,
The detections do not appear to be false positives - we recommend either using Prevx to remove the files or removing the manually.

Please let us know if you have any other questions. The files in your log come from cracks which have been modified to drop malware on to the system.

 

)Any other solution for me?If i dun deleted it could it harm my PC?Or if i send the log file to my ESS4 security center could they settle for me?Coz just now i still studing so i dun have such cost yet...Please help me!!

 

You have two options.

The first is to buy the removal license at Prevx at least and get rid of such malware.

or

You can report that suspicious file for perusal to Eset as per their KBs and wait for their release of AV definition which might be able to identify and remove it.

However as we are in Prevx forum, I definitely call for the first option but in the same way I understand your arguments. So the second one is the only option for you but you will have to fully rely on Eset they will do their homework.

To Prevx moderators: I don't know if any relations to other vendors are allowed here, so please forgive me if it is not the case. I am still newbie in Prevx forum and product itself.

 

The only thing i can hope is hope Eset can help me coz me nid to play study cost and a lot lot..U know la life in malaysia is very hard....So cannot afford it lo

 

You should be able to delete it manually by opening the folder by click Start > Run and opening: c:\documents and settings\user\local settings\temp\

and then deleting the file svchost.exe

Then open: c:\program files\konami\pro evolution soccer 2009\

and delete the file pro evolution soccer 2009 trainer.exe (which is more of a riskware threat so it should be easy to remove).

Let me know if you have any problems with this

 

I recently decided to try out Prevx also. It then scanned the computer & identified the the portable APP Free Commander in almost the same way. I went to Prevx's site & read their description sure enough it was cloaked malware & identified the developer of free commander as the distributor. Well I deleted the file but I wonder about this. NOD32, AVIRA, AVAST, Super Antispyware & A2 do not identify this file as malware. This is very strange to me. The files source was a far as I can remember the official site. Now I do not particularly like the way prevx markets by identifying malware & then trys to encourage you to spend money for removal but they are in business to make money & I suppose its a valid concept to market this way. I really wonder if Free commander is "Cloaked Malware" or if there is some other explanation especially in light of a bunch of other AVs & malware scanners who think that there is no problem.

 

There was an exploit / malware targeted at software developers.
This might be an example of that.
