Antivirus solutions? 500MB of useless stuff on your hdd / sdd...
Why?
I got this mail today (for non-german speakers: It's free from obvious grammatical errors, apart
from very minor ones)
- virus.png (50.41 KiB) Viewed 5448 times
They were at least so clever to fake the from address. Ok, it doesn't really make sense
that
admin@ebay.com should be the sender but nevertheless...
It contains the .zip attachment. If you scan it with virustotal, only 6 out of 62 scanners state
it's a suspicious file:
https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/a135 ... 500442504/
None of the better known ones (Avast, BitDefender, Comodo, Eset, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, Microsoft, Symantec)...
Ok, after extracting it, it contains another .zip file
https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/ada3 ... 500455144/
8 out of 61
Finally, after extracting that, you get a .com file
https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/5823 ... 500442837/
10 out of 64. And again, apart from Symantec, all better known ones state it's no threat...
Comparing the results of the last two files:
Avira and McAfee think that the .zip file is suspicous. Fine
But scanning the .com file, both engines state the file is clean?
Seriously?
In other words: If you use one of the bigger / better known (and a few of them are free)
never think you are safe because you're using this kind of stuff.
There is only one good antivirus solution: Your brain!
