I just scanned an AutoItScript I compiled at http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and got these results:

Quote

File: MD5.exe
Status: INFECTED/MALWARE
MD5 49874947f9287de91c606c981afc79ed
Packers detected: UPX, AUTOIT
Scanner results
AntiVir Found nothing
ArcaVir Found Trojan.Clicker.Small.Ht
Avast Found nothing
AVG Antivirus Found nothing
BitDefender Found nothing
ClamAV Found nothing
Dr.Web Found nothing
F-Prot Antivirus Found nothing
Fortinet Found nothing
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Found nothing
NOD32 Found nothing
Norman Virus Control Found nothing
UNA Found nothing
VBA32 Found nothing


It appears to be another false postive becuase of careless updates to antivirus definitions. :(

POSSIBLY INFECTED/MALWARE (Note: this file was only flagged as malware by heuristic detection(s). This might be a false positive. Therefore, results of this scan will not be stored in the database)

VBA32
Found Trojan-Downloader.Agent.70 (probable variant)



ArcaVir probbly just flagged it becouse it was packed by the default UPX.

I have attached the script which was compiled using the v3.1.1 compiler. It was an MD5 include I downloaded off the forums.

I do not understand what you mean by this. Could you please try and explain it in different words.


Thanks for the feedback.

AutoIt uses a UPX packer by default. w0uter was simply stating that, the anti-virus protection programs, typically find this and label it as a 'potential threat'. That seems to be the consensus here.

That makes two problems VBA32 and AcraVir. Guess somebody should send an email to both of them so they can fix their definitions.

Thanks for the feedback.
