Trojan Horse Downloader.Zlob.HUT = False Positive?

Hello! I've searched all over and cannot find anything regarding this issue, except here - http://www.hard-h2o.com/vertema/63818.html - but I can't read Spanish (

Anyway, I did a virus scan with AVGFree 7.5.441 last night and when I woke this morning I noticed it found the above "trojan" at this location - C:\Program Files\Logitech\G-series Software\SDK\LCDSDK_1.02.218.zip.

I just unstalled a new G15 keyboard about a week ago along with the accompanying G-series software. This zip file comes on the installation CD. AVG quarantined the trojan, but I am unable to "heal" it. I restored the object back to it's original location and I have rerun a scan (after updating my virus database) and nothing is showing up now. It appears that everything is ok now, but for peace of mind I would like to know if anyone has/had a similar issue?

I am very wary about what I put on my cpu and something like this worries me. I had another false positive with a-squared about a month ago, but was able to locate a thread on their forums acknowledging the error. I can't find anything similar on AVG's forums.

thanks for any help

 

That Spanish site doesn´t say anything useful
Trojans can´t be healed unlike viruses.
If nothing is being detected right now, it´s likely that it was a FP fixed by Grisoft.

 

try also to scan your file at virustotal.com

 

Well, I went ahead and just deleted the zip file after I restored it even though AVG does not say it is a Trojan anymore.

Also went to virustotal.com (handy site btw, thanks) and sent the .zip directly from my Logitech G-Series Keyboard software installation CD.. here are the results

This software is for the g15 keyboard. Maybe there is something in the way it accesses parts of the cpu to display info on the small LCD screen that some a/v people find as trojan-like?? I don't know, I am not the most computer tech savvy person.. I think I will post on the Logitech forums also.

thanks guys

 

well, the results can't be accesed following the link you've provided, but is any other AV detecting it ?

 

oops, I knew I should have tested the link.. yes, a few of the other AV's did detect it. I also posted this on Logitech forums with no response so far

 

You may want to check and make sure these guys-->pmmon.exe & pmsngr.exe aren't hanging around also.

 

Nope, they are not there. And no response form Logitech..
