False Positives with Cold Turkey?

Recommended Posts

I was surprised recently when MB told me there were several Trojans associated with the Cold Turkey program. It's a popular productivity program that blocks websites to keep you from being distracted.

 

Here are the particular sections of note from my MB scan:

 

Processes: 1
Trojan.Agent.gen, C:\Program Files\Cold Turkey\CTService.exe, 1692, , [f70b705a92e9de58a7b0cae725dc32ce]

Modules: 0
(No malicious items detected)

Registry Keys: 1
Trojan.Agent.gen, HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\CTService, , [f70b705a92e9de58a7b0cae725dc32ce],

Registry Values: 0
(No malicious items detected)

Registry Data: 0
(No malicious items detected)

Folders: 0
(No malicious items detected)

Files: 1
Trojan.Agent.gen, C:\Program Files\Cold Turkey\CTService.exe, , [f70b705a92e9de58a7b0cae725dc32ce],

Physical Sectors: 0
(No malicious items detected)

 

I already quarantined the files, but was Cold Turkey legitimately infected?
