[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 999614, member: 7463"] The testing modalities used by VT have become increasingly gloopy as of late, with the results being a bit detached from reality. An example would be the malware that you present, which although seemingly ignored by F-Secure will in reality will be detected and deleted even prior to running it. On the downside M Defender tends to have positive results on VT where the actual execution of the file will end in tears. And currently we have junk results like for this one: [URL="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/867728410f8a0158bf19ee07f1001905aa803295cb9995a3a813fba7ef46770c/details"]VirusTotal[/URL] Although this initial VT result seems bleak indeed, actually everyone and their pet iguana detects it (love the company name that signed it!). Hope that helped. [/QUOTE]
