Searching The Kb For Virus Information

boulderfans

I was wondering if there was a good way for searching the virus database for specific viruses. I got a popup today on a .dll saying that it deleted it as a "Trojan.Generic.4544817", but when I go to search the KB for that virus, it ignores the "4544817" part saying that was "too generic", leaving me with 700 matches to wade through, 15 at a time per page.

Is there a better way to look this information up? I even tried using Google's site scoping feature ("Trojan.Generic.4544817" site:www.bitdefender.com), but it came up empty handed.

TIA if anyone has a better way of searching.

Hi boulderfans,

Well... somebody else maybe. I put the following rules:

If a file is infected, -> destroy the malware,

if a file is suspect, -> quarantine! (and I send it to Bitdefender for analysis (I could avoid to destroy several "false positive" when BD mistrust several files from a company I know very well)

I'm afraid the word trojan.generic is... generic. It could be a malware... or not.

Maybe somebody else will find you the piece of info...

good evening
