Virus found on Firewall Leak Test web page

Hello,

if you go
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jugesoftware/firewallleaktester/eng/leaktest13.htm

then trying to download
Ghost.exe

NAV said "Hactool.Sechole" virus found, and removed

this is a trojan.

is this normal?

 

Its normal if you download and install a trogan such as a leak test. If you installed a leak test did you use it to test your firewall before NAV caught it?
A leaktest is nothing more or less than a self installed trogan used for testing a firewall .

 

Hi xTinction,

i am the author of leaktests Ghost and Wallbreaker, and i can tell you that both, as any leaktest program, aren't spywares/trojans/viruses/worms, in fact aren't malwares at all.

As LowWaterMark has well said, AV detects them not as viruses but as hacker tools, and hacker mean before all "White Hat" not Black hat.
But all AV detects most of leaktests because even if their code isn't harmfull, included into a trojans it could be harmfull, so it's better to detect the code.

If you wish to tests leaktests, download them into an exluded folder (AV exlusion list) and then you can use them safely.
