NOD32 and binary downloadsSolved/Closed

Question

Hello,

I have the latest NOD32 and over the last couple of days it has given warning that a potential threat is found.  This is in both an existing program which I have been using for years without any problems (it is a binary download) and when I try to download more binary PC games from Awem which is a reliable website, it again comes up with "warning, a potential threat found"  A variant of WIN32/FenomenGame potentially unwanted application.

Have contacted NOD32 but have not yet had an answer.

Hello,

From what you describe, all major antivirus products recognize FenomenGame as an adware Trojan.  If you have in your system the file wildtribe.dwn.exe, you are infected.

I suggest you download and install Malwarebyte.  Once installed please update it and run a FULL system scan.

Once your system is clean, I suggest that you delete Malwarebyte for it may conflict with NOD32.

Hello,

Thank you ever so much for replying, often many do not bother so I appreciate it very much.

All antiviruses are imperfect.  NOD32 is among the best with its imperfections, it may have just blocked the infection thus producing a warning.

Yet, just to be on the safe side, I recommend that you run Malwarebyte while NOD32 is disabled and your modem turn off.  

Malwarebyte may sometimes interfere with some antiviruses, so after the scan I suggest deleting it.

Thank you again and best regards
