AVG: Trojan horse Cryptic.JV

[Brian]

My latest AVG scan (virus db 271.1.1/2850) showed a 'Trojan horse Cyptic.JV' in JustCode\Libraries\Telerik.JustCodeNavigation.SearchFiles.dll.  Have you seen this before?  Is it a false positive?  If so, have you told AVG?

By the way, a fresh download of JustCode_2010.1.415_Dev.msi gives an immediate warning of this trojan upon download as well.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks all for reporting this problem. The problem seems like a false positive with the latest AVG virus definitions.
What we did:

- We checked the procedure for submitting a false positive to AVG:
http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=395
- We tested the file with jotti:
http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanresult/281006b1d404faa713f418962d830add8295d445
- Only AVG reported this issue and the other scanners didn't find anything suspicious in that file and this confirms it's a false positive.
- We submitted the issue to AVG and we hope they'll update they definitions in a timely manner.

We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks for the quick response, I figured as much...  Just wanted to make sure you guys did not get infected when you did not realize it.

Hello,
We received the following reply from the AVG team:

Dear Sir/Madam,

thank you for your e-mail.

Unfortunately, the current virus database version may detect the mentioned virus on some legitimate applications. We can confirm that it is a false alarm. We would like to inform you that the false positive will be removed in the next Definitions update. Please update your AVG and if a new Definitions update was downloaded, check whether the file is still detected.

If you need to restore deleted files from AVG Virus Vault you can do
it this way:
- Open AVG user interface.
- Choose "Virus Vault" option from the "History" menu.
- Locate the file that was incorrectly removed and select it (one
click).
- Click on the "Restore" button.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
