Two Infections found-Win32.NrgBot.rtk.

[siennasand]

I got the same message yesterday. It says my infected files are in my toshiba game console. I'm using Windows 7 also. So, I'm guessing I don't have anything to be worried about. That sucks b/c I restored to an earlier date and some things went a little wonky on my computer but oh well.

hello,

thanks for submitting the GameConsole.exe files.
I can confirm that the detection as Win32.NrgBot.rtk is a false positive.
The next detection update scheduled for Wednesday 2011-11-30 will fix this issue.

However these GameConsole files are part of WildTangent and not part of your computer vendors necessary software. Due to trust issues with WildTangent in the past I would personally not trust them.
If you like the WildTangent games keep it, but if you don't use it I would recommend to uninstall it (if possible).

Thank you for checking these, but I was wondering something: Did you confirm Gateway Game Console and HP Game Console? Or just one of those?

By me, it is an obvious false positive.

It is reported in a copy on my system disk of a Safestick.exe file that is part of a highly secured USB key. This program is on the first, write-protected, partition of the key and runs automatically when the key is inserted to ask for the password and make the main protected partition accessible. After 3 incorrect passwords, the whole content of the key is destroyed.

Of course I compared the C: version of the program with the one on the key and the 2 versions are reported identical. I can't imagine the 2 versions being infected on the same week, one being on a write-protected disk.

Win32.NrgBot.rtk showed up while doing my routine housekeeping routines. Followed many suggestions with no success. Any advice would be most appreciated.

What is/are the risks of having SB fix the problem?

Thanx for help.

Hello,

Similar situation.

I use Windows 7 on Toshiba laptop and Toshiba netbook.


Win32.NrgBot.rtk
2 entries of TrojansC-03
TOSHIBA Games > TOSHIBA Game Console> GameConsole.exe size: 1,889 KB
GameConsole-wt.exe size: 1,889 KB

Message from Spybot S&D:
Unexpected error in finding problems (Cannot create file “C:\Windows\wininit.ini”. Access is denied)



With the Toshiba laptop: I right-clicked on the files GameConsole.exe and GameConsole-wt.exe. In their Properties, I selected 'Deny Access' instead of of 'Allow' for all the instances. As administrator, I clicked the Spybot S&D's 'Immunize' option. Then I ran Spybot S&B for a scan to remove the two culprit files. Result: 'Congratulations! No threat was detected'.

I'll try the same steps with my Toshiba netbook.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and on this post but I realized that the alarms of Win32.NrgBot.rtk Gameconsole.exe and Gameconsole-wt.exe were false-positives and that the next update (scheduled for 30 / 11 / 2011) would correct this false alarm.
Thank you all

Bonjour,
je suis nouveau sur ce forum et sur ce sujet et j'ai compris que les alarmes Win32.NrgBot.rtk de Gameconsole.exe et Gameconsole-wt.exe étaient de faus positifs et que la mise à jour prochaine (prévue le 30/11/2011) corrigerait cette fausse alerte.
Merci à tous

I have no game console of any sort, but when I updated Spybot this week, I got a warning for Win32.NrgBot.rtk. Windows Defender does not find it, nor does my Avast antivirus. Plus, my Spybot program froze three quarters of the way through "search and destroy." I am finding messages on boards all over the web from people asking the same question. Is this a false positive?
