beefydog 0 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 All my PCs (4 PCs, 2 servers) spontaneously got infected with the W64/Kryptik Trojan, so I desperately found an online scanner to run the cleanup, and 7 infections were found. After about 9 hours of scanning, the program crashed. I noticed that a few hundred other people had the same problem but with an older version (version 2, I believe) than whatever was available yesterday (18-06-27) from the website. Running Windows 8.1 x64 , updates through today: June 25, 2018. Trojan disabled my AV software (FPROT) and my anti spyware (Spybot S&D), Firewall on. Regardless, I'm scanning from the latest rescue disc, so I can't post a dump file (I was not running anything I can think of to cause this, but 9 hours of wasted time was upsetting - now I get to do it all over again) right now. Judging by the posts here, this a very common problem. This does not bode well for the image of ESET as a whole being that the most expensive Anti-Malware program on the market is unstable, who would trust it for their business (my clients run ESET as per my recommendations, I'm thinking I may have made a mistake)?

beefydog 0 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ran a complete scan on another machine using the Rescue CD, ESET was unable to find the W64/Kryptik trojan (nor its spawns). Very disturbing news. So much for promise of zero-day protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Moderators Aryeh Goretsky 378 Posted July 3, 2018 ESET Moderators Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hello, Have you submitted copies of the infected to ESET per https://support.eset.com/kb141/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US ? Are you completely certain this is not a false positive alarm by F-PROT? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
