Bd 2009 Says Your 3-month Old Ati Radeon Drivers Contain A Backdoor Trojan

This just popped up yesterday on one of my ATI Radeon equipped Windows XP machines over a driver that was released and installed in February 2009 and running fine ever since--and Bitdefender deleted it!


Suspicious of a false positive I used a Linux system to download the same driver from ATI's website, hosted the file on a read only share, and scanned it with Bitdefender 2009 from a Vista 64 system over the network. Low and behold, BD 2009 says the file contained a generic backdoor trojan straight from ATI's web site!


So what's the deal here, is Bitdefender on crack or has ATI become a serious malware target recently?

    Hi


    1. disable BD.


    2. install your ATI again.


    3. scan the detected file with http://www.virustotal.com/.


    4. post the log here.


    If it is a false alarm, you could ask here to BD team, to remove this file from the virus list.

    Hello oritpro,


    Please attach a BitDefender scan log, and post a download link for the detected drivers.
