Trojan.Starter.GY - False Positive?

You can temporary try this before the signatures are being removed. Open BitDefender go to antivirus,shield,adjusted level don't scan this path on all levels and now add C:\i386\utilman.exe

c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe to the exclusion list.

Hi Niels,

In the Exclude path from scan list you can add only folders, not files. That means you cannot add c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe, you can add only c:\windows\system32\ which would be very unsafe, because you would exclude from scan almost all system files.

The only solution to this problem is that BitDefender Virus Analysts remove the detection for these files.

You are right but when the person don't visit harmful websites then that person is safe.

That is not always true. Don't forget about the viruses that spread without anyone's help, inside a network. If one of those viruses somehow passes the Firewall protection, then you have a big problem if BitDefender does not scan the System Files. (I know that, in my case, I would get infected in 30 secs without BD's protection. My network is full of viruses " /> )

Then again, there is not much you can do with your PC if BD constantly deletes one of the system files (utilman.exe), so this temporar solution that you suggested has to work until BD removes the detection.

garyinri: keep your fingers crossed so you won't get infected when you use this temporar solution and, most important, remove the path from Excluded paths after BD removes the detection for these files!!
