Hi to all
Can anyone in explain this,
I submitted some suspect files to a anti virus company last week ,
received email saying files are clean no infection no malware ,
so thought cool ok happy about that cool and glad to not be infected .

This morning Comodo identified TrojWare.Win32.Agent. so ok maby false positive hoping against hope,

checked all files with Virus total and Virscan, JottiQ now getting mult hits on each file,
So these are false positive or very new malware
Question why were these missed ?
Is it ok to post Virus total results ?
Is their any one here how could check these files if i up loaded them to media fire ?
And why have I been emailed that these are not malware when it looks like they are ?

check it to virus total.
there has 40 AV engines
so, if less than 10 AV detect it as malware, then it just FP.
and, you can also think.
What is the file?
illegal or legal files? installer?

And its like more AV would detect it as its likely to be a malicious thing.

From file name itself its like suspicious.
