[Adware detected - what is the best thing to do?]

Hello @Mister B,

 

In what kind of file was the adware found? In an installation package?

You can find an explanation of adware here:

What is Adware? – Definition and Explanation

Hello, Schulte. It was found in an .exe file that execute a game

[Adware detected - what is the best thing to do?]

Hello, everyone.

 

My kaspersky Total Security detected an .exe file as “not-a-virus:HEUR:AdWare.Win32.Generic”.

First of all, what is an adware? And would it be dangerous if I restore this file? Should I submit this file for a verification for false positive?

 

I thank in advance for any reply posted.

[Anti-virus or Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal. Which one should I trust more?]

Hello, Schulte. How exactly do I copy a line from a detection report?

 

If you want to know what kind of threat was detected, my KTS detected:

 

UDS:DangerousObject.Multi.Generic

 

and

 

PDM:Trojan.Win32.Bazon.a

 

(Yes, it is two files. Both of them are part of a game)

[Anti-virus or Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal. Which one should I trust more?]

Hello, everyone.

 

Recently, my Kaspersky Total Security (KTS) issued an alart telling me that it detected a malware on my PC, but I used the Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal and submitted this file for an analysis and it detected nothing, so I am in doubt which one I should trust more. I would like to hear opinion of others.

 

I am waiting for answers and thank in advance for any opinion

[How can I check a file?]

Hello, everyone.

 

I am having a problem with a file. My kaspersky is detecting it as a “VHO:Trojan.Win32.Inject.gen”, but I think it is a false positive. So, I tried to use the “Check a file or link” feature on this website, but it is not working. Is there any other posssibility to verify this file?

 

I am waiting for answers and thank in advance for all replies posted.
