Dave Tyler Report post Posted December 17, 2011 After downloading today's updates and product update I got two alerts that I quarantined. The basic alert was: Heur.Agent/Gen-Fakesas. Administrators.... help? Is this a false positive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pudelein Report post Posted December 17, 2011 I also encountered this detection from SAS this morning; interestingly, the folder in which it was located was created on 01/24/2009: this is the date on which I first installed SAS 4.25.1002 and did nothing else of significance. So, if it is not a false positive, it looks like SAS is detecting something that it introduced nearly three years ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pudelein Report post Posted December 17, 2011 Will the SAS people respond here efficiently? This is my first post. I was responding about the same detection that you did, namely, Heur.Agent/Gen-FakeSAS. I believe siliconman01 and kerr were both referring to your post also. As far as I know, there was no other issue in this thread until the Russians entered the discusiion after the rest of us were gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detour Man Report post Posted December 18, 2011 This came up on a full scan today on me as well. After removing and quarantining it, I ran another and it came back again. I suspect a FP and submitted it as such. My other programs don't pick it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geoff Report post Posted December 22, 2011 Hi Dave, Can you tell us what version of the core and trace databases you have installed as of this latest result? Also, if you can, please submit another false positive report for each detected item (after restoring and re-scanning) so we can make sure the mitigation effort is correct. Thank you!

dgrasser Report post Posted January 21, 2012 I just upgraded SAS, early am of 1/21/12. After running a full scan, SAS detected two Heur.Agent/Gen.FakeSAS files, so apparently SAS has not yet fixed the problem. The file name of the file is "ICONCDDCBBF.13EXE" located in two separate locations. C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\DON\APPLICATION DATA\MICROSOFT\INSTALLER\{CDDCBBF1-2703-46BC-938B-BCC81A1EEAAA}\ICONCDDCBBF1.EXE C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\HELPASSISTANT\APPLICATION DATA\MICROSOFT\INSTALLER\{CDDCBBF1-2703-46BC-938B-BCC81A1EEAAA}\ICONCDDCBBF1.EXE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikew_nt Report post Posted January 21, 2012 Yep, this is an FP again, similar to the one in this thread from last year. For now I've put mine as a managed allowed item.
