Heuristic Scan - Image Files showing EBlaster Infection
Following an upgrade today to Ver 1.6.6.32 Some but not all files with a png jpg and zip extention are showing EBlaster Infection on Heuristic Scan Only. When tested with Spyware Doctor all is ok.
I have searched for EBlaster Programs,Process's and the Registry with no sign of EBlaster Infection.
I have to admit I am thinking along the same lines however as a person that deals in facts and not fiction, I would like to know if other forum members are having issues as well or if Spybot can confirm this is a legitimate infection.
EBlaster false positive??
Let me add that I also have manually checked the files and registry entries that are listed in Spybot's "Manual Removal Guide for EBlaster" and everything is clean.
Likewise, scans with NIS-2009, Malewarebytes and SuperAntispyware are all clean.
Haven't updated to 1.6.6 and plan to hold off until this issue is sorted out. Don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire! :)
EBlaster Heuristic false positive??
Another bit of information.
Go to a trusted website; I picked "Microsoft.com".
After the site opens, consecutively save the screen in two formats:
1. Web Archive single file (*.mht)
2. Webpage complete (*.htm or *.html)
Spybot's rightclick scan on the "Microsoft Corporation.mht" archive detected EBlaster Heuristic.
However, rightclick scans on the complete webpage "Microsoft Corporation.htm" and the associated file "Microsoft Corporation_files" were both clean.
So, the sum of the archived parts has a problem, but each unarchived part is clean. Confusing?!
