sparhawk77 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 I recently started using your product. I received a warning that my SVCHOST.EXE was actually a Trojan.Dropper/SVCHost-Fake.Process. The program asked me for a full scan. Other than a bunch of adware the above noted file was the only one noted. I removed all items & was asked to reboot. After the reboot the program is once again stating the same item has been detected. Is this for real or a false positive? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Well as far as determining whether it is f/p or genuine trojan then identify the file address of the svchost.exe file it will shown in the scan results. Next use VT upload to check against 32 AV databases:) http://www.virustotal.com/ * Make sure you upload the svchost file from the address SAS is listing it at! If VT comes back all clean then use report false positive function at the end of SAS scan on the file. However if any of the VT databases flag the file as malware then you have an unknown quantity that is reloading the malware. SAS HQ have excellent diagnostic tool that will track *unknown*s and allow them to update to target the loader but you will need to go through support channels to get that assistance! It would then be advisable to upload support request here>>> https://www.superantispyware.com/csrcreateticket.html **Please leave link back to this topic so SAS hq can track it HTH:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
