filezilla.exe infected with a Trojan.Agent!?!?

I installed the latest version of malwarebytes anti-malware and updated the definitions.

It then ran it and it found a "Trojan.Agent" in:

PortableApps\FileZillaPortable\App\filezilla\filezilla.exe

Any possibility this is a legitimate infection?

Can someone else run malwarebytes anti-malware and tell me if their portablapps filezilla.exe is infected too?

Cheers.

Does this help?

Copied directly from the page I linked to, bolding added by me:

AntiVirus and AntiSpyware False Positives

100% Free - No Spyware - No AdWare - No Viruses - Certified by Softpedia.comSome false positive reports occasionally pop up in different antivirus products in conjunction with software. This is partially due to the compression and portablization techniques used and partially due to a failure of some antivirus companies to fully test their virus definition updates before sending them out to users. If you encounter a false positive, please test the file in another antivirus product before reporting the issue to us in the forums to ensure that it's not an error in their software. Several companies make available online scanners for individual files, so you won't even have to install software (virustotal.com, Jotti). You can also use ClamWin Portable. Thanks for your help.

Is this sufficient or should I explain it further?

Interesting, the ADMIN from BMAM says,

Z

That would probably be the illegal Z site which does indeed make an illegal portable version of malwarebytes available (using our software illegally as well). I've responded in the forums with the particulars.

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

I was going to reply, but you beat me to it... Smile

Although I didn't even know about the 'z' site having MBAM...never go there...

In my experience, MBAM has been very professional in their approach to things, and is a very good program...And if you browse their forums a bit, you'll notice they really don't like their software being stolen...(which is understandable ;))
