    Default ENCAPI32.dll aka VIRTUMONDE.SDN

    hello everybody
    the last scan of updated S&D found Virtumonde.sdn on c:\windows\system32\encapi32.dll that was an old file referring to Microsoft Encarta.
    The result of the scan is attached.
    Well I think it could be a false positive.
    Please have a look

    Live long and prosper

    Thank you for reporting this false positive.
    It will be fixed with the next detection update scheduled for Wednesday 2010-04-14.
    Until then you can exclude further detection of ENCAPI32.dll if you right click it in the scan result and select to "exclude this detection from further searches".

    Default thanks for confirming

    Hi Yodama,
    thanks for Your official confirm, as I wasn't sure at 100% (it's a long time I don't use this old version of Ms Encarta).
    Happy, however, to contribute to the correct developing of Spybot
    Have a nice weekend

    As far as I know, Virtumonde uses the file "encapi32.dll" as well, but filesize and MD5 are different.

    Default filesize and MD5 are different

    Hi, Matt
    I knew about the use of ENCAPI32 by Virtumonde, so I attached the md5 and filesize information in text file. In the meanwhile I'm waiting to the update of wednsday and I'll try to scan the system again: surely I'll post any new.
    Eventually I can attach the zipped ENCAPI32 itself if you need more investigation.
    Have a good weekend

    Default new scan: no more false positive

    Hello everybody,
    its confirmed.
    after a new scan with updated S&D files, Your software does not detect the encapi32.dll as Virtumonde anymore.
    I can confirm that the problem is fixed.
    Tnks for Your continuous work

    Live long and prosper
