Backdoor found on g6ftpadmin.exe with fprot after updating (maximus)

Searching google I got here

So I will try my question here.

After updating f-prot signatures, I got the attached image.

I tried installing again g6ftpserver, and I got the same message.

Then I tried on another pc, and I got the same.

Is this a false alarm, or is it something I need to worry about it.

You can get the installation of g6ftpserver here (evaluation):

Removed direct download links - url of programs download page will suffice--Bubba

 

Sorry, forgot image.

 

well, that software allow you to remotely control a pc

I believe this is why F-Prot detected it. It isn't "really" a FP

 

Hi. I'm right now on the apple laptop but i will take a look at it during today. But most likely this would be then at least a "questionable" Application. Since it tries also to mess around with hidden services. And has "Backdoor" abilities.

As i said i check this out later today and reply here.

 

I couldn't resist and looked right now Well as you might known those !Maximus at the end are NOT signature detections, they trigger upon special behavior or partly known malicious code. (Heuristic) So it doesn't really suprise me that it triggers on this particular file. However, i will force an update over the weekend to exclude this detection and you should be fine

 

yep, I believe it detected the remote control component at least

 

Wow, I was not expecting such quick replies.

Many thanks Inspector Clouseau

For a second I though it was really something that got into two of my systems

 

You may wish to try the new version of F-prot AV on some computer
It is F-prot 6 . It is still unfinished , I mean beta state, but it is stable software

Just got the update, thanks for it! works perfectly.

 

No problem.
