Hi,

I tried to scan memory and here are the really strange results. It seems, that the scanner is inficated itself. Have a look:

"…CalmWinAVir_PORTABLE09301\App\clamwin\lib\pythoncom23.dll: Trojan.Spy-43557 FOUND"

and

"…CalmWinAVir_PORTABLE09301\App\clamwin\lib\gizmosc.pyd: Trojan.Spy-43557 FOUND"

Have you any idea what does it mean?

Hello,
Just to be sure, are you using Clamwin or another application named CalmWinAVir? Usually portable Clamwin is available at
http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable
so pls make sure if you are using the right application.

Regards,
Antonio

Thanks for reply, Antonio,

but, of course, I am using the right "ClamWinPortable" scanner. The name of the parent folder was generated by that PortableApps installer.

Hello,
I have downloaded Clamwin Portable from http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable, installed and run it from USB drive choosing to scan Programs in computer memory. Report came our out clean (see below).
*** Scanning Programs in Computer Memory ***
*** Memory Scan: using ToolHelp ***


*** Scanned 28 processes - 417 modules ***
*** Computer Memory Scan Completed ***


----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Known viruses: 339057
Engine version: 0.93.1
Scanned directories: 0
Scanned files: 445
Infected files: 0

Data scanned: 209.43 MB
Time: 157.484 sec (2 m 37 s)
--------------------------------------
Completed
--------------------------------------

I have found the two files you have mentioned also in my bin directory, have scanned both with the Clamwin version installed on my machine as well as with my resident AV (Avira Antivir free): nothing was found.
My feeling that the two mentioned files have been replaced by some sort of malware. My suggestion would be to download the software once again and replace the copy you have.

Hope this helps,
Antonio
