Generic dx Trojan

**rustydemon** · 04-14-2009, 12:26 AM

Hi,

First I wanted to say thank you for a great site.
I recently downloaded FireFly's Inventory Manager Light v1.0.4b from your d2sector.net dl's. I scanned it appreared clean. I wanted it on another computer I use and the easiest way to get it there was to email it. So I did. Well hotmail and gmail both said it is infected with generic dx. trojan. I used different online scanners some found it others did not.

Does anyone know what this trojan does? Is there a clean download available?

Thanks,
Rustydemon

To the best of my knowledge a trojan is a sneaky program that comes in as something else and just explodes on your computer.

I could be wrong and often am.As for a clean download I am not sure.Try a PM to Ares he knows about those things.

Only other Trojan related things I know about ~cough~deal with history or condoms.......

Let's not go there shall we?

Yikes, I definitely wouldn't use it. Sometimes Trojans are hard to detect so whoever posted it could have missed it, Spit should pull that download. That trojan could do ANYTHING, it could be something that just pulls statistics, or it could be out to get your passwords.

It could be a false assumption.
Or whatever you scanned it with sucked.
Go to Online malware scan to scan the files, it does it with the best known AV's so you should get a 100% accurate answer.

If 2 email scanners said it has a Trojan, I wouldn't take the chance, certain programs can cause false alarms, but it is not worth it. Just because a program says a file is clean doesn't mean shit and detections only happen when it finds something that resembles malicious code.

Maybe we will get an official word on this from somewhere, I was just at the EONW forums and didn't find jack about it. Till then, don't use it.

Yeah but a lot of stuff can be false and usually is false.
Take cracks for example. A lot come up false as a virus because it was coded in MS Visual C++

You'd think if this program was known for making false alarms there would be documentation somewhere.

Well Windows is now asking me to send reports on this when it is found and so is Adaware...does that mean what yall are talking about guys?

**rustydemon** · 04-15-2009, 03:28 AM

I just want to say thank you for all the replies and information. I am hoping to find a clean version or perhaps be told officially it is just a coding issue.
Thanks All,
Rustydemon
