Win32/Virut.NBP false positive with ReGet

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0.684.0 with 4566 (20091102) detect as virus ReGet.exe

I have put it on exclusion list, but it's not very good ...

It's unlikely there would be a Virut FP, the file is most likely infected and adding it to the exclusion list might cause other files to get infected as well. What happens if you attempt to clean the file with the on-demand scanner? Do you get an error while cleaning?

 

I'm sure the file is clean and NOT infected: ReGetDx.exe (4.291.072 byte 4 July 200
I have submitted to VirusTotal and only NOD32 detect as infected.

Error on cleaning, and the file is on quarantene but it's not infected.
I have recovered and excluded from scan.

NOTE: ReGetDx.exe is the original file, not cracked or something similar because I have a regular license.

I can second this. Sometime today my regular Reget Deluxe has been detcted as Virut.NBP.

Eset 4.0.437.0 def 4566 is unable to clean the file.

I redownload the reget installer from http://download.reget.com/regetdx.exe and Eset refuses to let the main program file install.

 

The same virus description also has a problem with the main executable of JV16powertools 2009 http://www.macecraft.com/jv16powertools2009-info/

I've tried to send the file for analyses but that results in an error. Don't know why though...

 

As for the executable of ReGet Deluxe, we confirm this is a false positive which will be fixed in the upcoming updates. Regarding JV16powertools, I've downloaded it but it was reported clean. Hence I assume yours was actually infected. Do any other av programs detect it at Virus Total?

 

Hi Marcos,

Only Esafe rates it as suspicious. Perhaps I can Email you the executable?

cheers,

Jeroen

 

Thanks Marcos, I'll wait the updates ...
now with 4570 detect again as virus.

Please submit it in a password protected archive to samples[at]eset.com with something like "Virut - False positive" in the subject and the complete download url enclosed as well.

 

It seems sending the file is no longer necessary. A virus def. update must have fixed the issue

 

My problem with ReGet is fixed, with 4575 now it works fine.

Thanks and regards
