Kaspersky detected trojan win 32 generic. Should I full format my pc?

[Sandbox Breaker]

I'm sorry, but you didn't read the post, my friend. This particular trojan is not an executable file; it came bundled with a 3D hair asset archive. There's nothing to install on it; you just extract it to your 3D software's assets library." Kaspersky instant file scan detected it when I scanned the archive manually. system watcher wasn't triggered because it was not a real-time execution.

HIPS would have denied it in memory of set to untrusted. I see what your saying. I've dealt with malicious VSTs that ran code in memory of Ableton.

If I understand correctly, you're saying that even if it's not an executable file on the plain side, it could've executed some malicious code when the user extracted it, and the only way to prevent this from happening is by setting Kaspersky intrusion prevention to default deny mode. I didn't know that,really.

Thanks for making that clear code breaker.
