"Trojan-Downloader.VB.AXA", Virus, Ad/SpyWare or false positive?

28/12/2007 - 05:13 por Salvador | Informe spam
Hello, i have run AVG antivirus and AntiSpyware, Kaspersky On-line, Ad-Aware,
Spybot and SpywareBlaster and all results clean, but when i run Spyware
Doctor, it detects 2 items: "m.webtrends.com/m.webtrends.com" with a low
level of risk and
"Trojan-Downloader.VB.AXA" with a high level of risk and saying that is a
Trojan that contacts a remote server in order to download additional malware
onto a users. I want to know is this bad news or a false positive and in the
first case how do i clean it.
Thank you very much

Hello Salvador,

Suministrar los files aqui for analices

If this scanner says 'OK', it does not necessarily mean the file is clean.
There could be a whole new virus on the loose. NEVER EVER rely on one single
product only, not even this service, even though it utilizes several
products.

Hello Engel, Thank you for your response.
I have used other products for search my computer as you indicate and the
result is clean except for two cookies: "TrackingCookie.Netflame" and
"TrackingCookie.Webtrends" but when i scan with Spyware Doctor stills found
TrojanDownloader.VB.AXA. Anyway I think is a false positive but not sure
about that.
What else i can do.
Thanxs
