False Trojan Alert... I think

[xeross]

Ok, so i came back home turned on my pc monitors, and saw a alert from eset smart security about a trojan, my mouse froze up, cus of eset so i pressed the reset button.

So my computer reboots and i get 2 trojan warnings :

C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

C:\Program Files\RealVNC\winvnc4.exe probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

So i though maybe im infected with something, let's download utorrent again anyways.

So i go to utorrent.com and download the executable, before even saving the file it said it has a trojan again.

I'm almost 100% sure this is a false positive.

What do u guys think ?

Downloading from utorrent.com is safe. Your AV proves yet again it's ... unintelligent (search for ESET yourself :/)

WinVNC... that's a well known app, and it's not installed somewhere strange, so your AV is being stupid. See if you can get updated definitions... Other questions

my av is most recent defenitions

eset never let me down till now

so i just excluded the utorrent folder

[jewelisheaven]

just as good a response. At least ESET is smart enough to allow that. Re-checking in the meantime, I feel bad for insulting ESET. It's certainly not the worst one out there. Could you include your current program version and definitions version for records helping others who experience the same ESET problem?

It's just a false positive. It happens sometimes because of EXE packing.
