Yet Unverified: Seagate FreeAgentService.exe

- 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
