Before I report this. Is "windvd.exe" known to be a false positive? I am a new user, and on the learning scan for my Sony Vaio, it indentified windvd.exe as a backdoor trojan, so I have allowed PREVX to quarantine it. Very impressed with PREVX so far.
The reason I ask is that there seem to be conflicting messages:- PREVX site says:- http://www.prevx.com/filenames/X2468619198377826078-X1/WINDVD.EXE.html but other sites suggest otherwise:- http://www.fbmsoftware.com/spyware-net/process/WinDVD_exe/1779/ http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=49642.0 suggest that hashes may be an issue. http://www.securitystronghold.com/gates/win32.trojan.pakes.html Quote from the above site:-
Hello If you could please send a scan log by clicking Tools > Save Scan Results and send it to report@prevxresearch.com, we'll be able to analyze the exact WinDVD.exe file which you have (as some are malicious but some are clean so it's hard to say which one you have without the log). Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions!
Done! I have e-mailed the following:- [BP] c:\program files\intervideo\dvdbd8\windvd.exe [PX5: 77484B84102001F1F5D21F24201AB60004FB54BB] Malware Group: High Risk System Back Door
