Trojan.Carberp.ED in UserData.exe a false positive?

Hello,

 

Malewarebytes today detected Trojan.Carberp.ED in UserData.exe. I was shocked because it seems to be a very aggressive Trojan. But Avira, Virustotal and Metascan do not detect the Trojan in the file.

 

See:

 

Virustotal scan:

Metascan online scan:

So, is this a false positive or do I have to worry?

 

Malewarebytes scan file and Avira system file scans are attached.

I have run another Malwarebytes scan and it does not detect it anymore. Although Virustotal still says it does.

 

Virustotal:

Is Virustotal maybe not up to date with the newest database of MBAM? Anyway, the scanner does not detect the trojan so I think this is resolved, is it?

 

I attached the (clean) log file to the post.

 

Thanks for your help.

This was a false positive. Mbam deletes files on reboot so if you didn't reboot when prompted and restored first it could of still been deleted possibly.

 

There was no notification to reboot at all and I did not delete anything. When I restored the file from quarantine it was there where it has been before (C:/Programme (x86)/Smart Panel) but now it is gone. I was yet wondering why the reboot seemed to stuck a bit and I had an all black screen at first for a few seconds. I'm sorry for seeming to be a nuisance but I was worried about this whole thing.
