Generic detections are generally seen having numerous variants, ending with different alpha/numerical characters representing additional information - see Microsoft Malware Protection Center Naming Standards. If the number of these characteristics/instructions exceeds a pre-defined threshold, the file is flagged as a possible virus. Others scan the file more intensively, searching line by line inspecting the code in a file to see if it contains virus-like characteristics. Some claim to allow emulation of the file's activities in a virtual sandbox. Heuristic scanning methods vary depending on the vendor. Heuristics uses non-specific detection methods to find new or unknown malware which allows the anti-virus to detect and stop if before doing any harm to your system. Generic detections are usually a heuristics engine detection of possible new variants of malware before the vendor can get samples and update the program's definitions for detection. Those detections indicate it's more of a generic detection which includes applications with suspicious behavior, those containing embedded files, and those considered risky (risk tools). zip archives, here's their VirusTotal (requested new analysis as well) in order:Įdit: Looks like I can't do the tests at work since I use VirtualBox and it doesn't support DirectX 3D, which the executable needs.Įdited by Aura., 26 February 2015 - 11:07 AM. I just requested a new analysis on the main.

I'll download it in a VM for you and see what it gives.

I wouldn't download that program at all and I suggest you to get checked for malware here on BleepingComputer if you downloaded and executed it. If it was really clean and working, and as 'amazing' as it says it is, the comments would be way more positive. Judging by the reviews, this program is apparently infected so I wouldn't trust it at all.
