Seagate FreeAgentService.exe

[WVN777]

- Windows XP Home Edition 5.1 Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.120107-0416:Service Pack 3
- Firefox 18.0.2
- Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.2.46, latest detection update 2/13/2013
- TeaTimer Resident Log: 2/15/2013 6:58:08 PM Encountered and terminated Backdoor.FakeUtility in C:\Program Files\Seagate\SeagateManager\Sync\FreeAgentService.exe!

I believe this may be a False Positive, as the FreeAgentService.exe process is a part of the Sync Windows Services from Seagate Technology LLC.

Unless, of course, FreeAgentService.exe has actually been infected by Backdoor.FakeUtility, but that's not being detected by anything else.

Your thoughts ?

hello,

this is very likely a random TeaTimer false positive.
Please do the following:

update Spybot S&D
restart your computer
restart the Seagate software
if the TeaTimer still reacts in the same way please send in the Seagate file for analysis
if the TeaTimer does not respond, it was a random TeaTimer false positive which can occur after updating and not restarting the TeaTimer/computer
