R8000 AC3200 Virus in Firmware
\NETGEARGenie\update_temp\NETGEARGenie-install.exe;Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Alien.ccl;Trojan program;09/29/2017 12:39:12
tried downloading genie software for windows directly from netgear but Kaspersky nailed the file as: trojan-downloader.win32.alien.ccl and forced a computer shut down and disinfected sequence before rebooting and eliminating the netgear file
Sounds like a false positive to me. I would ask Kaspersky. I have downloaded the same file with three different AVs installed, Nod32, Norton and Bitdefender and didn't get a positive on any of them.
That isn't the only issue that Kaspersky can create:
>>>>> Unable to access router management page with Kaspersky installed <<<<<
Never been a big Kaspersky fan. When I have to run Windows I'd rather use Nod32 or Bitdefender. I always turn it off when working on the router or use Linux which never fails and has not viruses (yet).
Hi
just to add my bit ...
I also have the problem running Zonealarm Extreme Security Vers 15.1.501.17249.
Just in case others with it were wondering.
Can we be assured that the downloaded file (NOT saved by Zonealarm) is safe?
Thanks.
