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

oritpro

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.
