Avira AntiVir Guard and Black Shark -- VIRUS DETECTED


Vesperatus

Recommended Posts

Good afternoon gents,

 

That just poped on my screen :

 

Ka-50\bin\stable\Ka50.dll is the TR/Rootkit.Gen Trojan

 

 

How do I make sure it is not infected ? What is in that file.

 

I just saw that on Avira website, under the TR/Rootkit.Gen page :

Someone with better knowledge would have to respond, but it is possible that it is detecting a rootkit included in the StarForce ProActive that is used with DCS. However, I am not certain that ProActive's scheme actually includes a rootkit so it might also be a false positive.

Here the same.

 

Had an AVIRA Update 2 days ago, just turned on the PC for 10minutes yesterday and the warnings popped up every 30seconds. I pressed "ignore" but that didn´t work.

 

I use the International DL version of BS, Win Vista 64bit.

Starforce is on the downloaded english version, this is what I have. It would'nt surprise me at all if it included a rootkit. That might just be what avira is detecting or it might be a false positive.

 

One way or the other, i'm waiting for some official replies ( DCS team or Avira side ).

According to Eagle it is a false positive. A user in the German forum section reported that the problem is known to Avira. To disable the warning you can set an exception for the ./Ka-50/bin/stable/ folder. How to do that for the scanner/guard is explained here:

See pages 57f (Scanner) and 62ff (Guard).

Dear All - is there a conclusion to this issue? Have Avira updated their software so as not to send a warning?

 

IIRC there was mention made of setting an exeption of sorts which I could not figure out in any event.

 

After a while I got so fedup with it all that I uninstalled Avira entirely and installed Avast..........Just as well as I ran a scan and it picked up a Trojan that Avira missed.
