Ant Dude Posted November 23, 2013 ID:757307 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hello. I just downloaded http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/winamp565_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe and the latest MBAM's updates. Its Windows Explorer's right click scan said there is an OpenCandy infection for Winamp v5.65 installer file: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75.0.1300www.malwarebytes.orgDatabase version: v2013.11.23.08Windows XP Service Pack 3 x86 NTFSInternet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702Tester :: MYBOX[administrator]11/23/2013 11:29:20 AMMBAM-log-2013-11-23 (11-31-38).txtScan type: Custom scan (f:\downloads\winamp565_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe|f:\downloads\winamp566_full_en-us.exe|)Scan options enabled: File System | Heuristics/Shuriken | PUP | PUMScan options disabled: Memory | Startup | Registry | Heuristics/Extra | P2PObjects scanned: 2Time elapsed: 5 second(s)Memory Processes Detected: 0(No malicious items detected)Memory Modules Detected: 0(No malicious items detected)Registry Keys Detected: 0(No malicious items detected)Registry Values Detected: 0(No malicious items detected)Registry Data Items Detected: 0(No malicious items detected)Folders Detected: 0(No malicious items detected)Files Detected: 1f:\downloads\winamp565_full_emusic-7plus_en-us.exe (PUP.Optional.OpenCandy) -> No action taken.(end) Is there really an OpenCandy infection inside?

Staff shadowwar Posted November 23, 2013 Staff ID:757342 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Its not really an infection but a potentially unwanted program (PUP) adware Opencandy. It bundles this adware with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff shadowwar Posted November 23, 2013 Staff ID:757358 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yup. Anything that we flag with pup optional prefix should be that case. You hit the nail on the head! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
