    Has someone already uploaded the file to VirusTotal?

    I sent the file to Virustotal and Jotti and here are the results:

    http://www.virustotal.com/es/analisi...860-1270242057

    http://virusscan.jotti.org/es/scanre...56ab420d09105f

    In Virustotal it seems that another antivirus like Antiy-AVL 2.0.3.7 reported SDShred.exe as positive (Virus/Win32.Daum.gen). Surprisingly McAfee din't say anything. Could you explain?

    Jotti said the file in entirely safe. I'll be expecting the McAffe answer too.

    Sorry, I must be very dummy , but reading the entire thread the only thing I can discover is the possibility of a false positive, and reallly I think it must be, but need a confirmation.

    Default me too

    I also had McAfee quarantine the same Spybot file but in addition to the shred file it also said the same trojan was in my system volume information restore file. Did anyone else experience this same scan result?

    It's in System Volume Information folder because System Restore made a checkpoint with backup files which included Shredder in which makes that file in System Volume Information folder a false positive, too. There're some posts saying that trojan was detected in System Volume Information folder.

    VirusTotal still didn't updated McAfee after 4 days...

    AVg does not appear to have this problem, so it might only be McAffee. Could use some further investigation though.

    For anybody wonder why McAfee doesn't report SDShred on VirusTotal: According to the posters, VirusTotal is using the 3/31/2010 DAT. The false positive started with the 4/1/2010 DAT. Is this McAfee's idea of an April Fools joke
