info on RarePacker.Multi.Generic

[craig123456]

Zonealarm has found the following when unpacking an exe file: "RarePacker.Multi.Generic was found" and quarantined the file.
(it's the old DVD Shink application)

Do you have any information on what rarepacker is and why it was quarantined? Is it safe to use, or what does it do?

Craig,

To check this out, you could upload the DVD shrink files to Virus Total Virustotal is a free service which will analyze the suspicious files. The files will be checked out against thirty-nine antivirus engines.

There was a thread on false positives, DVD shrink and RarePacker.Multi.Generic
a couple months back. Here is the link: ZASS False Positives

Best regards,

I just did a scan because I just installed the new 9.1.008 program.

It foudn rarepacker.multi generic in this codestuffstarter program I have used for years. I am not sure what to do now? I really dont think they would have a trojan in this program.

Can you tell me if this is a false positive and if I should restore it. It put it in the quarantine file.

Thanks

Anita
