False Positive or not


Recommended Posts

Hi My name is Pjottr and I am new here. So bear with me if I am not yet fully acquainted with this forum

This is wahet Malwarebytes found after a scan on Sept 7

Files Detected: 1

C:\Program Files\Vimicro\Vimicro USB PC Camera (VC0305)\tools\x86\vmdrv.exe (Trojan.Pirminay) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

I have this camera already for a long time but Malwarebytes never detected this exe file only after the last uodate on Sept 7th 2012

After doing some research on the internet I found out that vmdrv.exe is used by good vendors but also by bad vendors.

The file was quarantained and the camera still working

Hopefully there are people here who can shine me a light on this as I am still not sure whether this is a false Pos or a trojan indeed

Thanks in advance

Hi, pjottr::

I noticed that you just now reported this same file as a possible FP.

Did you see Shadowwar's reply here yesterday? http://forums.malwar...ndpost&p=597140

You can restore that file from quariritine. That was a false positive a few days ago and should be fixed with the recent database updates. After u restore be sure to update and rescan again. it should no longer be detected./

It appears that, YES, it was a false positive and that it was fixed a few days ago. :)

Please be sure to update your MBAM definitions and then scan again -- MBAM should no longer detect this file.

HTH,
