jomark3 25 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I was doing a little housekeeping today and I moved a Ubot folder to an area that I don't have whitelisted in Kaspersky. And sure enough, within a minute, Kaspersky identified a compiled bot in the folder as a virus and sent it to quarantine. HOWEVER, I noticed that I had another compiled bot in that folder that Kaspersky left alone. Both bots were compiled using Ubot version 4.2.6. The only difference in the 2 compiled files is the one that was left alone had 'dash old' at the end of the file name. So I recompiled the bot that was just quarantined and gave it the name 'Bot Name-new.exe'. It's been over an hour now and Kaspersky has not identified this bot as a virus. So, in the future, I will be adding '-new' to the name of all of the bots that I create. I'll keep the community posted if Kaspersky swoops in and identifies it as a virus, but for now, it seems to be a workable solution that prevents Kaspersky from giving false positives on compiled bots. UPDATE: Sorry, Kaspersky fans, both the -old.exe and the -new.exe file were identified and sent to quarantine after about 5 hours. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Anonym 53 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hmmm... I don't know about Kaspersky, but lately I have got loads of messages from my AVG antivirus about bots being trojan horses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AutomationNinja 194 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 For me using Kaspersky was pure hell. It f*ckd my computer. I spent to days trying to fix it. Over 2 hours on the phone with their support. Numerous help tickets and emails. I am fairly certain that kaspersky isn't even compatible with windows 8. I would highly recommend looking into using a different AV software. There are free ones that do a great job. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
