Backdoor.Bifrose Detected?

[TrDo]

Hi everyone,

As usual, today I run a quick scan on my pc with MBAM. The results detected Backdoor.Bifrose at the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\System32.

Well, I took no action. The reason for this being that since the last time I scanned (yesterday), I hadn't installed any new applications. How come I got infected?

Could someone please tell me if this is a false positive or not?

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks alot.

Hi,

This isn't a false positive though. Strange it detected since today, because this detection is already in the database for months.

Strange indeed. I run MBAM everyday. At 11:00pm everyday I auto update. How come I missed it?

Anyway, I'll follow through the directions. I have already quarantined the item. Run another MBAM Quick Scan, and now nothing is found.

Thanks a million Mieke for your prompt reply.

Ok good.

FYI... If you google "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\System32" (use the "" around the search), you'll find more info about it.

Bifrose has many variants, so it's always good to post a HijackThislog anyway in the appropriate forum, because it could be a new one you're dealing with that mbam doesn't detect. It only detected the key set in the registry.
