Trojan.Dropper/Gen

[swarfega]

SuperAntiSpyware has just caught this trojan when Spybot, Malwarebytes, spyware terminator didnt. Same happened with this guy which got me thinking about SuperAntiSpyware and what its doing that the others arent doing and whether its kosher.

A Google says it is a legit Trojan, and Avira had a post about it a while back - TR/Dropper.Gen - Full description

SpywareWarrior recommends SUPERAntiSpyware as a tool.

It is reasonable to be concerned because the others didn't find it - that's a trick a lot of crapware uses to get you to buy their (inferior) product. In this case, it looks like it is just a bit better than the others.

yeah I keep an eye on lavasofts blog since they post warnings about false spyware programs. Thanks for the reassurance.

SAS is not really trying to sell you anything. It is free for the home user. I have used it for about two years, amazing program. I have saved a couple computers with it.

the offending program was a sidebar gadget which monitors game servers and the number of players using qstat. So I think in this case it may be safe.

It found Trojan.Agent/Gen in a quick scan which MBAM didn't find.

It was the first time Ive done a full scan with SAP as well.

I must say that Super Anti Spyware is the Best Anti Spyware Product.

While I havent tried all of them ( though Im sure you have Dinesh ) I did download it and scanned my drives... It found one tracking cookie... Ill have to test it over a longer period of time for a fair comparison ....

This could be a 'false/positive' on SuperAntispyware's part, but if you have the .exe file you should upload it to Jotti's or Virus Total VirusTotal - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan just to make sure.

The QStat program is called "qstat" on Linux/Unix and "qstat.exe" on Windows. The Windows binary can be found in "win32/qstat.exe" of the QStat ZIP file

I am telling you guys, this program is solid. that whole " a virus has been found on your computer, click here to remove it " banner trogan....my inlaws apparently can't resist flashy blinky banners and got it on both of their computers. Put SAS on a flash drive, installed,scanned and........ vwalah ! I love it. IMHO, better than anything out there, paid or not.

SuperAntiSpyware has a very good reputation at Wilders Security Forum.
For example, the list here(it is in the list under Anti-malware Scanners).

Double check before you do so. I know that when I ran a scan, it popped up with a several of the tracking cookies from the web browser, most of which were legit. There will be some false positives, while it is nice to be ultra careful, you can also be a little too zealous and do damage to yourself by accident too.

There is no such thing as a legit tracking cookie. I have used SAS for years as a on demand program along with many other security programs. No one program does it all. Super Anti Spyware has always been a quality program IMHO.
