SONGBIRDPORTABLE.EXE being reportded as "Trojan.Agent/Gen-Injector" from SuperAntiSpyware.....

I can't be the first person to find this, but if no one else has seen this, I suggest giving your portable apps install a quick scan!

Is this a false positive or did this somehow slip by someone?
needless to say, I'm deleting until I hear from MULTIPLE persons that this could be a false positive.

False Positive

Songbird Portable, as with all apps released by us over 10 years, is 100% clean. Of course, you could have always gotten your own copy infected using it on an infected machine. But that's not what happened here.

The copy from us, launcher 1.10.1.0 with an MD5 sum of 9e22427f31d0971967d60c21cd506675, is the official one (so you can compare). I was last modified and digitally signed on 6/12/2012.

As you can see from this Virus Total report, SuperAntiSpyware - and only SuperAntiSpyware - is indeed alerting on it. This is what's known as a false positive. It means that SuperAntiSpyware's current definitions or engines are broken and alerting on something clean. You should report it to them and get them to fix their bug.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

thanks for the heads up - I

thanks for the heads up - I wanted to at least alert someone to the possibility, but thanks for clarifying that SAS (which is the scanner I am currently running today) is buggy! Smile
