Closed TrojanAgent DFRF(B)

[Cranfield 1]

A Custom scan has found " Trojan Agent DFRF(B) in C:\Windows\ System32\wscript.exe " > I had a message box stating, " The following objects were not removed for your own safety - C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe - Removing these items bears an unusually high risk of crashing your operating system during automatic cleaning, as these threats are deeply embedded ..........go seek technical help, etc".

I followed the link in the announcement box and there were loads of options, none seemed to refer directly to this named Trojan Agent, so I decided to post the query here.

I have run the scans you asked for.

Do I start a new thread entitled "Logs", or something similar, or do I copy and paste the logs on this thread. ?

I notice other members have posted a blue link to their logs, I do not know how to do this.

Hello,

This is a False Positive detection and has been fixed.  Update Emsisoft and run a fresh scan to double check that it is no longer detected.

A Malware scan shows clear now.

Is a False Positive a detection error of the scan ?

[Kevin Zoll 309]

A False Postive is caused by an errant malware signature in the malware detection database.  Our software has 2 detection engines that each have their own malware signature database.  We have our own detection engine and we use the BitDefender detection engine. In this particular case, the signature that was causing the detection was one of BitDefender's and it was corrected and a database update was issued, shortly after the detection was reported to BitDefender.
