[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 893015, member: 83059"] Kaspersky already fixed it, not showing up on VT anymore. BTW this is right in line with one of my gripes about certain engines, particularly BitDefender, Norton, and Microsoft. They frequently label hacking/piracy related tools with extremely generic malware sigs like Trojan.GenericKD or similar. Surely it's not coincidence the same is true of those 3 engines for this sample. This tool is even borderline to label as PUA or a HackTool. Labeling it as a trojan I think should be considered a false positive, period. (With regards to Kaspersky, it's really rare in my experience for them to mislabel a PUA as a generic malware detection, so I'll be a little more forgiving compared to with WD or BD who have a long track record of these misclassifications... Kudos to them for their quick response) [/QUOTE]
