Gen.Variant.Zusy.233235 in Trend Housecall - false positive or genuine?

For years I have been using BitDefender as my main security suite, and running Trend Micro HouseCall as an additional check.

Just recently, whenever I download or run HouseCall, BitDefender detects Gen.Variant.Zusy.233235 in HouseCall\tmase\nmap\bonjour.exe (or, in HouseCall\tmase.zip).

I have downloaded a fresh version of HouseCall from the Trend site, but the problem persists.

So, is this a genuine infection, or a false positive?

Hello YetAnotherDave.

Have you tried using sample submission form?

I did try, but was unable to upload the file - maybe BItDefender quarantined it while I was trying?

There must be other people using HouseCall to supplement BitDefender, so really I was posting to try to find out whether it is a known issue, whether anyone else is having the problem, etc.

Maybe you should try with URL instead of file. Try sending them download link for HouseCall that you have installed on your system.

I'm sorry I could not be more helpful.

I hope you will get the precise reply soon from better informed members on this particular problem.
