AVG Reports Autoit infected


Recommended Posts

The most recent virus database update to AVG marks AutoitSC.bin as infected with Downloader.Agent.AEPV. The earlier version in v 3.2.8.1 gives no problem. Checked with virusscan.jotti.org, AVG the only virsu program indicating problems.

BTW, to update the Sticky, for AVG see <http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?4,104930,backpage=,sv=>

they scan the signature of AutoIT, not the actual code

Getting the same thing here with AVG free since the last update 269.22.1/1349 released 29.03.2008 17.02. Is there a work around???

I have deleted the latest AutoIt version and reinstalled v3.2.8.1. This still runs OK for me, and does not trigger AVG...

So you've sent the sample and reported to Grisoft? Have they replied yet? Thanks a lot.

WOOHOOO:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, the previous virus database might have detected the

mentioned virus on some legitimate applications. We can confirm that

it was a false alarm. We have immediately released a new virus update

that removes the false positive detection on this file. Please update

your AVG and check your files again.

If you need to restore deleted files from AVG Virus Vault you can do

it this way:

- Open AVG Virus Vault (Start -> Programs -> AVG 7.5 -> AVG Virus

Vault).

- Locate the file that was incorrectly removed.

- Right click on it and choose the "Restore File(s)" option.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

David Streichl

I'm so happy they took care of that haha, and indeed my scripts ARE NOT being auto deleted on my AVG systems now :)

Apparently it's starting to propagate! TrendMicro Office Scan 8.0 with Virus Pattern 5.235.00 (4/23/2008) now detects the AutoitSC.bin file as WORM_DELF.FKZ.

I get the same from Trend OfficeScan: Pattern 5.235.00 Engine 8.700. :D

I'd submit your code directly to Trend. So far, after they have fixed my scripts; i havn't had an issue on Trend/Avast/AVG/NIS/McAfee or even Kapersky.

I don't disaggree, however sometimes it's nice to have some reassurance from the community on these types of problems; especially as they can be very damaging to our scripts/clients.

I get realy sick and tired of reading posts from people who don't (or won't) read the sticy posts first. They are there for a reason and several threads have been locked for just that reason. This particular topic comes up, in one forum or another, about once a month. Or on occasion a thread that has been ded for quite some time will get revived by someone who didn't even take the time to read the whole thread they were reviving before reincarnating it.
