What is this: Gen:Variant.Zusy.337009 ?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Following my title,

I received today an alert from BitDefender that 2 files infected with Gen:Variant.Zusy.337009 were found.

As I checked further, I could see that the files infected were related to a software I downloaded one week ago in order to have an online certification for Microsoft, with Pearson VUE . And since then, that application was sitting there, not opened by me or something since that day.

Why was it detected only today?

Hi Member,

The file may not have been detected by bitdefender previously because the detection might not have been available for the same at that time. Since the release of latest database the detection for the file must have been available, hence the file was detected today.
