Possible New Malware

Hi,

This file was sent in spam. Sending on. Password 'infected'

File looks suspicious and only flagged by a couple of AV vendors by virusotal.

Sending on so can be added to defs if needed.

Thanks

Seems quick work. I rescaned this morning and its now detected. I notice it can't be from this sample as it has not been downloaded yet.

Could I ask does Bitdefender act quickly on samples received by online scanners such as Virus Total as I scan them there first? Or maybe someone else has received the spam and just sent them to samples or support email.

Anyhow I am very pleased of the quick response. Well done Bitdefender!

Kind Regards

Hello Jlo

Virustotal sends the undetected samples automatically to the vendors. But not when you checked an option.

You can still send new infections also to virus_submission@bitdefender.com or support@bitdefender.com so that could be also the reason why it's already being detected. If after a few days new infections aren't detected yet send them via mail.

Ok Thanks.

Hello Jlo

Good to hear that I could helped you. You have also to add them in an password protected archive just as you do here in this forum section.
