This issue has been solved. See solution.

Looks like a new fake AV variant.

Does Symantec has the detection and cure for this variant ?

 

Cheers

Hi Biran,

 

Currently i dont have the sample file to submit. In the process of collecting it from the end user machine.

Will Submit it once i have the file. But in parallel, i just want to know below points.

1. Does Symantec aware of this new threat ?

2. If yes, does Symantec has the detection ?

 

Thanks,

Prakash

You would need to submit to have it verified. If your SEP client did not detect it than it may not have had a signature yet.

FakeAV changes many times per day so it may have went undetected which is why you meds to submit so they can create a signature for it.

As Brian mentioned there's always issue with new undetected/unknown variant... most of the time user need to capture & submit it manually

 

take note also on different naming convention for each vendor...
