Antivirus spots the .exe as containing a trojan - Trojan.Gen.SMH.

Discovered:
October 26, 2012
Updated:
April 16, 2013 1:57:42 AM
Type:
Trojan
Systems Affected:
Windows 2000, Windows 7, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP

Trojan.Gen.SMH is a generic detection for many individual but varied Trojans for which specific definitions have not been created. A generic detection is used because it protects against many Trojans that share similar characteristics.

Trojan horses pose as legitimate programs or files that users may recognize and want to use. They rely on this trick to lure a user into inadvertently running the Trojan. Often a Trojan will mimic a well known legitimate file name or pose as a particular type of file, like a .jpg or .doc file to trick a user.

Distribution of Trojans on to compromised computers occurs in a variety of ways. From email attachments and links to instant messages, drive-by downloads and being dropped by other malicious software. Once installed on the compromised computer, the Trojan begins to perform the predetermined actions that it was designed for.

And a current scan from today here: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/9dfa7bba0985bef1b916782585f9f3ced7e89...

Be sure the SHA256 is correct. If the hash matches, you have the official file. Then report the issue to your antivirus provider.

If the SHA256 does not match, you don't have the real file. In that case, please let us know where you got it.

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