chris2015 0 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 All, I guess everyone here knows those commercially available stealth PC monitoring software. I'm surprised, that those trojans are hardly detected by virus scanners. All surveillance makers recommend in their FAQs one should add their programm to the virus scanner's exception list. After some quick tests in various virtual machines I was surprised, that this is not necessary in most cases. Even the Avast pre-boot scan didn't find the virus. 11 / 60 virus total's scanners recognized the trojan. It was a free, public trial version! No modifications! All 11 hits were "generic". One of those malware programmers offers all surveillance methods you can think of, but not keylogger. To avoid Antivirus detection. Short question: what's the easiest way to find those malware? Malwarebytes, for example, says they had proprietary methods that were better than the other scanners, but at least in the affected, running windows, they didn't find more of those viruses. Thank you in advance. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,259 Posted June 8, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 8, 2018 Monitoring applications are not usually malware but are created for legal monitoring of staff. ESET usually detects them as potentially unsafe applications which is a group of legitimate applications that can be misused in the wrong hands. The detection is disabled by default. Feel free to report such applications to samples[at]eset.com and we'll check if a detection should be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
