David H. Lipman Posted February 11, 2012 ID:525764 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The file has multiple False Positives by different anti virus vendors.I saw no malicious activity and I see no reason why MBAM should detect it.https://www.virustotal.com/file/18446663a971289734949154f1c41bb6966f08f757eef888258606a2416861d0/analysis/1328974569/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theservant Posted February 16, 2012 Author ID:527317 Share Posted February 16, 2012 wow,, thanks,, that's really help me,,but, is it safe?,, and why it detect this program as trojan?I think trojan is the program to steal your data from your computer with sealth mode,, n how do you know this program is safe??do you have some program or a way to detect an activity trojan in your computer?or do you have a program to read a real source code of some program?. . .

David H. Lipman Posted February 16, 2012 ID:527321 Share Posted February 16, 2012 "Is it safe ?" Yes, I think so.It is detected as a trojan because it has characteristics of a trojan or a signature for real real trojan just happens to be the same as found in this file. All anti malware software generate False Positive detections on legitimate files at one time or another. Yes, even Malwarebytes. Just recently Microsoft's Security Essential's created a False Positive declaration for the Tr/Blacole.ref script on Google.Com .Trojan is a name for any malicious program that does not self replicate and performs malicious activity on your computer which includes, but not limited to....* Browser redirection and hijacking* Advertisement generation* Identity theft* Hold data for ransom/cryptovirology* Steal passwords* Steal key codes* Log your activities and/or keystrokes* Create a backdoor into your computer* Force you computer to perform an attack (such DDoS) on another Internet system.* Force your computer to create email spam* Force a computer to dial 900 pay-service numbers.* Perform a confidence job (con job) such to get you to pay for services you do NOT need.I know this utility is safe because I analyzed it under Windows XP and Windows Vista sandboxes. I checked for malicious activity and communication with the internet and I saw nothing that could be perceived as "malicious".I do not know what you mean by..."do you have some program or a way to detect an activity trojan in your computer?or do you have a program to read a real source code of some program?"Can you please elaborate on your thoughts/questions.

theservant Posted February 16, 2012 Author ID:527360 Share Posted February 16, 2012 what I mean is, a program to analyze "malicious program", and you use "sandboxes" program, right?,but I have another problem,, after I make exception in avira n after run this program again n close it,,I don't have any problem,,but after several hours,, when I chatting on facebook,, my laptop got shutdown by it self,, I mean automatic shutdown, all program closed n it's shutdown normally,,is it because facebook? or chating? or because this program exception? or because there is another trojan active in my laptop,,but it never happens before,,because I already use desktop locker for several month,, and after avira update and detect this program as trojan, I never use it until today,,so, can u figure out , what is my real problem here,,sorry my english was very bad thanks. . .. . .

David H. Lipman Posted February 16, 2012 ID:527363 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I use specialized analytical software which places the suspect in a SandBox - Yes.You say "...after several hours,, when I chatting on facebook,, my laptop got shutdown by it self,,."That could be indicative of a thermal shutdown. The notebook reaches a preset temperature and the system is shutdown in an act of self preservation. Often caused when dust builds up in the notebook's air vents used with a fan to cool the notebook's processor. No aitflow and the notebook gets too warm and automatically thermally shutsdown.Get a new can of compressed air and release an air jet in the notebooks air vents and see if you can see dust come out. Verify that the fan actually "turns" when the notebook is used consistently and gets quite warm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theservant Posted February 18, 2012 Author ID:528104 Share Posted February 18, 2012 may be you are right,,but that's never happen before, and until now after I remove the exception, I use my laptop for 24 hours for download and browsing, it's never autoshutdown again,,it's just happen that night,,and I always use the cooler pad, so I think it's impossible happen because thermal autoshutdown,, and this laptop is stil new, I just bought it september 2011Do u have any idea?. . .

theservant Posted February 18, 2012 Author ID:528146 Share Posted February 18, 2012 sorry, I dont know where I could buy a new can of compressed air, because I never heard it before,,but, my notebook fan is working finely until now,,hm,,may be I must try to make exception again and run that program again,,to make sure what is the problem actually,,but is it safe? or , may be I must always run this program in the sandboxie if I want to used it,,but, can sandbox prevent the infection virus?what I mean is, is it safe? if I run the suspicious program in the sandboxie, such as keygen or trainer game or something??. . .

David H. Lipman Posted February 18, 2012 ID:528150 Share Posted February 18, 2012 This is something VERY common and can be found online, in many supermarkets and definitely office supply shops.http://www.evertek.c....asp?auto=28885Frankly, if you continue to have to ask about this utility DON'T USE IT.
