Obfuscatored exes being detected as virus


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I've started using the obfuscrate functions when compiling but my AV, McAfee Enterprise Edition is logging and deleting the files while using the On Access scanner. Here is the log.

4/7/2010 7:33:27 PM Engine version = 5400.1158

4/7/2010 7:33:27 PM AntiVirus DAT version = 5944.0

4/7/2010 7:33:27 PM Number of detection signatures in EXTRA.DAT = None

4/7/2010 7:33:27 PM Names of detection signatures in EXTRA.DAT = None

4/7/2010 7:34:03 PM Deleted SYSTEM E:\Open Container\iopen.exe\iopen.au3 W32/Autorun.worm.zf.gen (Virus)

While I know this is not a virus is this common? Is there something in AutoIt I can do to eliminate the issue or will I just have to work around it by disabling my AV program while working AU?

Thanks

BTW: I did a search for obfuscrate and virus and only came up with stuff from a kid that seemed to be writing virus with AU and obfuscating them.

Well, I saw that but it was only happening when using obfuscrate and I didn't see anything in that post regarding that function.

I will take that a general reply and use it in this case as well.

Thanks.
