    There has been a new Stration outbreak during the night. Only very few AV (3) detected it, NOD32 was among them thanks to the recent update of advanced heuristics:

    Hard to say, there have been a couple of variants released afterwards (each detected by AH), maybe yours is one of the recent.

    I see.. I just went online to check my email and was shock to see "probably unknown NewHeur_PE virus" (probably 2nd time in my online life)

    By the way, I already sent the "docs.vzm9" (rename it to .zm9) via "Quarantine->Submit file for analysis" function to Eset's Labs. Not sure why it didn't sent in the Update.xxx one though.

    It's not necessary actually, such files are submitted automatically if you leave the "Submit for analysis" check-box in the alert window ticked.

    I didn't see it though, but it didn't show in Event Logs so I thought I might just help..since probably the system will remove duplicate files or something..

    blackspears, great job by Eset. I was curious if you might say who were the other few AVs that were able to do this like Eset. Might make a difference to some with their current setups. Thanks, and again, good job Eset.

    Just to be sure to be updated... from my nod32 i get the following version/build. The internet filter seems a bit older on my version... is it normal?

    There is no difference between Internet filter 1.001 and 1.002, just a very minor unimportant fix. We'll probably release v. 1.002 as an automatic update to avoid this confusion.

    Mine must be even newer, since AMON doesn't trigger on them at all... Scanning with NOD32 identifies them as NewHeur_PE, but I can copy and extract them all day long without AMON making any noise whatsoever...!

    I've already submitted one of them.

    :eek: :blink:

    Update - AMON v1.1819 now picks them up. :D

    Yup, both of the copies I had are now detected as xxx.KG in 1.1819. Good good. :D

    A bit off-topic (and maybe worth starting a new thread), but...

    I wonder why AMON is letting you manipulate files that are detected as "probably unknown NewHeur_PE virus"? Should it not block it and give a warning? Or at least, that's how I thought AMON worked?

    I tried it on my PC with a file that is detected as "probably unknown NewHeur_PE virus" (even one that is a false positive: Advanced Spyware Remover, by the way). AMON quarantined the file if I tried copying it or moving it, but it lets me move my mouse over it and even run it? Isn't that a bit strange behavior for AMON? Does that mean that AMON does not block the execution of files detected by Advanced Heuristics?

    By the way, I also tried it with a real, live trojan that NOD32 detects as "probably unknown NewHeur_PE virus", same thing as with the false positive (I am able to put my mouse over it and even run it without any warning from AMON).

    Is this behavior with AMON intended? The same thing does not happen with files that AMON detects by signature.

    Note that files detected as NewHeur_PE are detected by advanced heuristics. As you can see in the AMON setup, advanced heuristics is only used when scanning newly created/modified files.

    Interesting how Eset guys can "optimize" the heuristics engine for specific family of malware....This shows that Eset engineers are very bright! :)

    Great job, Eset and a congratulations to the bright people who were able to make this possible!
