1 Upvotes

Its a launcher of an private server of an online game. I know creating such types of games sometimes makes the detectors go crazy but the owner literally tells you to disable windows Defender for it to work And you have to download it by tor And tor browser only...so...i dont know how much suspicious you can be but i'm Still curious if its malware or false positive? Its a link from my vm So i dont know if it will work lmao

I downloaded Autoruns from Microsoft Learn and wanted to scan it on VT before running it, yet people are reporting it to be a virus?

1 Upvotes

VT says nothing was flagged as a virus, yet the community score says otherwise. What is going on?

As an average user without a solid foundation in this field, I'm uncertain about what conclusions to draw. I would greatly appreciate any insights on whether those detection are likely false positives and safe to use or if there are legitimate concerns?

Many thanks in advance.

Accidentally opened suspicious word file - am I screwed?

1 Upvotes

I got an email from an unknown sender and although I knew it was shady, I opened the file to see what it contained but forgot to do it in a secure way. I ran it in VirusTotal (link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d8a903f5cb06bf225c4f31ae4dfd098c87862474a7e0e48d2c982e93a093ffe4/community ) and it didn't flag anything, but it connected to akamai servers so I'm not sure.

Hi, I found a .exe on the report called ork081 executable and now I am offput. I got it from the official download but unsure. I linked the report on virustotal.

Writing such an optimized binary causes some scanners to think I'm malware.

The fact nobody writes such optimized programs anymore that CrowdStrike is 70% confident it's malware, just makes me fucking weep tears of sadness. I made the same exact app with C++ and it took about 160KBs on disk to do the same thing this 2KB ASM file does.

7-zip v26.03 Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml -- do I need to format the hard disk from scratch?

Post image
3 Upvotes

So, today I noticed that 7-Zip has an update from 26.02 to 26.03.

I go to the OFFICIAL WEBSITE 7-zip[dot]org (I am fully aware of the malware/bitcoin miner clone!), and install the x86-64 .exe.

MS Defender IMMEDIATELY quarantines the file and says: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml

VirusTotal also returns 2 malicious entries. (Photo above)

So I run an online full scan, and after examining over 500k files, MS Defender concludes that 0 threats were detected.

I then proceed to delete the file from MS Defender as well.

Now I only have one question: do I need to format the whole SSD and reinstall Windows 10? Or is everything fine and I am having a panic attack for nothing?

I'm on Windows 10 22H2, August ESU update.

Thanks.

Is this a false positive or not?

1 Upvotes

This is the exe for Palais de Reine, a visual novel on Steam. A few years ago, the developers had problems with it being flagged as a virus by mostly Windows Defender. It doesn't get flagged by Windows Defender anymore, but it does get flagged by McAfee apparently. Malware Bytes didn't detect anything about it but the behavior tab does look kinda suspicious to me, as someone who doesn't know anything, lol. I really would like to play this, but I dunno... What do you guys think?

How can I view the contents of a ZIP file without downloading it?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm trying to find a VirusTotal feature that I used before.

For example, if I came across a direct link like:

example.com/download/SomeZipFileIWantToInspect.zip

IIRC, I could paste the URL into VirusTotal and see the files contained inside the ZIP archive without having to download the ZIP myself.

I can't seem to find this option anymore, so I'm wondering if the feature was moved, removed, or changed.

Thanks

Virus or False Positive?

1 Upvotes

There's a Discord community with almost 70k members, and they are reviving the old FIFA game servers on PC since EA shut them down years ago. Pretty much what I'm asking is:

Is this installer they make you download really a virus, or just a lot of false positives?

They say the launcher changes your game files and uses a modified DLL to send you to a fake server so you can actually play online.

I really hope it's not a virus since I'm dreaming of reliving my childhood memories again, but please let me know if it is -

So Undertale Yellow uses arrow keys to move and i found a autohotkey script file (open source) to make the keys WASD, but virustotal saw it as a Trojan file i think? I'd like some help.
