Trojan.Generic/Firefox

Cobracon · 10-15-2009

I just downloaded Firefox v3.5 from:

Mozilla Download

After the download completed, Bitdefender popped up with a message it had deleted a virus: Trojan.Generic.IS.617052 . I deleted the download (never installed Firefox) and tried again with the same result.

I'm hoping I chose the wrong site to obtain Firefox.

Any ideas Security Team?

Hey Cobracon,

That's the legit download site for firefox. Let's see what's up. Could you review the Prework link in my signature and post back with the logs please?

The link works fine for me as well...

Will do as soon as the Bitdefender scan I initiated is complete. I intended to do the prework anyway since a Java update on this computer failed completely last night. JavaRa came up with errors during it's run, too. The updates worked fine on my other 2 computers.

Great. I look forward to your reply

EDIT: I'm gonna move this to the HJT section now
