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.
