    Default infection found in only one of three identical downloads

    Hi,
    I am wondering why Spybot found virtuamond.dii in one of three 'identical' downloaded files.
    I updated a program on three computers on my home network. One Vista with defender, IE8 and Spybot, one XP with defender firefox and Spybot, one XP with firefox and only Spybot--I didn't like Windows Defender. I have Avast on all three with auto update and I apply all Windows and Spybot updates while they're still warm and fresh. Always one right after the other going from room to room.
    When I opened my new version file of another app, Spybot stopped and deleted virtuamonde.dii on the third (xp/ff/spybot) machine, but not the other two. Spybot scans were clean on the other two immediately after. This has happened before, on the second machine, I think.
    So, where does the malware come from? The publisher, but only sometimes? Hitching a ride from cyberspace?
    Just wondering,
    Bub

    hello Bubbator,

    it looks like we need to take a further look.
    The AnyDVDTray.exe normally should not be started from a temporary directory but from Slysofts program files folder.
    Use your Explorer to navigate to this temporary files folder:
    C:\DOCUME~1\DRFAC8~1.BRU\LOCALS~1\Temp\
    then search it and it subfolders for AnyDVDTray.exe, zip the file and attach it to your next email.
    Also do a full scan with Spybot S&D, then right click the scan result and choose to save a full report to your desktop, attach this report to your email to detections@spybot.info as well. Make a link to this thread in your email so we can make the connection between the email and this thread.
