Backdoor bot
Post by ColinB on Jun 25th, 2014, 07:32am

Hi folks,

I ran BBC basic yesterday and MALWAREBYTES said:
Backdoor.Bot, C:\Program Files (x86)\BBC BASIC for Windows\APLIB.DLL, Quarantine, [12d6c3b8c5b626105317de2f9f65e818]

Anybody know what is going on here ?

Cheers,

Colin

Just another annoying 'false positive' detection. Increasingly, anti-virus software is becoming a problem rather than a solution!

Add APLIB.DLL to your 'white list' or change to a scanner which is less prone to false positives (to my knowledge neither AVG nor MSE has ever caused problems with BB4W files, but it could happen any day).

Cheers Richard,

That confirms what I had guessed.
I had already added the module to the do not scan list which stops it getting instantly quarantined.
ESET has no problem with it either.

I figured it was worth asking.
Note one and all, the paid version of Malwarebytes is excessively fussy.

Cheers

Colin.
