    Unhappy not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j

    Hello, I decided to do a Kaspersky scan today and it found something called not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j. AVG and SpyBot don't detect it. I couldn't find any details on this thing, too.

    "Not a virus"? Gosh, I really hope so. Thanks in advance for the advice.

    All advice given is taken at your own risk.
    Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

    Since you did not say anything about problems, I will assume you have no malware issues.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Tools\Restart.exe ------> RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j skipped

    Different scanners will spot parts of programs as possible malware (riskware). I can't say what Restart.exe belongs to since you have it in a folder called Tools and I can't see the tools in that folder.
    To give you a for instance, Smitfraudfix, a very important malware tool contains that file, see this:

    Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, I have no malware issues. Kaspersky just happened to find this one file suspicious.

    Here are all the files inside the Tools folder: All.exe, AutoClick.ini, Change.exe, CheckPath.exe, Counter.exe, DelFolders.exe, Devices.ini, DirectSetup.exe, Disable.ini, Readme.txt, RegClean.exe, Regexe.exe, Restart.exe, and RunRegexe.exe.

    You might want to check your own XP computer if we have the same files in Windows\Tools. In case you're wondering, I think that folder came with Windows because I checked the created dates.

    I have upgraded AVG Free to version 8.0. I have also uninstalled old versions of Java and upgraded to Update 6. About ALCMTR.EXE, after reading the description on the page you gave me, I don't really mind since it came with my drivers.

    That's it for now.

    Thanks for the feedback...

    On my Dell with Windows XP Pro, I have no such file as
    C\Windows\tools

    That really looks like some kind of tool, but I am not sure which one, perhaps
    RegClean and it does not scan well:
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/star...exe-13394.html

    You might want to scan a few of those files to be sure:
    http://virusscan.jotti.org/
    http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
    http://www.virustotal.com/

    I run AVG Free 7.5 and they keep trying to get me to 8. Not sure if I will as I see the direction they are going in. The two programs they removed from freeware were used extensively in the malware community. Luckily there were others to fill the spots. Don't be surprised if they decide to charge for 8at some point.

    Safe surfing

    Sorry, I made a mistake. The folder is at C:\Windows\system32\Tools.

    Oh, well. I have AVG Free v8.0 now. I thought they integrated AVG Anti-Spyware into this new version. Maybe they did? I still have SpyBot anyway.

    That's so weird; the folder was created the same day I installed Windows, and at the time I did not have an internet connection yet. I think this folder and its files are connected to my installed drivers.

    Virus Total said 6 out of 32 found the file restart.exe suspicious:

    AntiVir 7.8.0.17 2008.05.13 SPR/Tool.Reboot.J
    F-Secure 6.70.13260.0 2008.05.14 Suspicious:W32/Malware!Gemini
    Ikarus T3.1.1.26.0 2008.05.14 Trojan.Win32.Tambu.a
    Kaspersky 7.0.0.125 2008.05.14 not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j
    Panda 9.0.0.4 2008.05.14 Suspicious file
    Webwasher-Gateway 6.6.2 2008.05.13 Riskware.Tool.Reboot.J

    Jotti's Malware Scan returned results from the following scanners:

    AntiVir Found SPR/Tool.Reboot.J
    ArcaVir Found Riskware.Risktool.Reboot.J
    CPsecure Found RiskTool.W32.Reboot.j
    F-Secure Anti-Virus Found not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j (6, 2, 611)
    Ikarus Found Trojan.Win32.Tambu.a
    Kaspersky Anti-Virus Found not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Reboot.j.

    For a random check, I also used Jotti's to scan DelFolders.exe and only Ikarus found it suspicious, so it's probably a false positive according to Jotti's. I also scanned another file, RegClean.exe, and every scanner found nothing.

    I'm leaning toward a conclusion that these are all harmless .exes since they've been on here since Day 1. Also, everything is running smoothly and nothing has been wrong for the longest time.
