Virus Found – Possible Threat “Backdoor.Win32.Bifrose.bcb”

As the title says !!! Its a trojanhorse or in simple words a spyware…

Recently I stumbled upon a file which seemed to be a malicious software where as few major AntiVirus and AntiSpyware softwares were unable to detect the threat !! Which included big names like Kaspersky, and NOD32 (ESET)…

Therefore I was quick to report the facts to the Detection center for those 2 BIG Houses !! I got in touch with Kaspersky LAB and EAST detection center to let them know about the new threat…

It is now confirmed from Kaspersky,

Hello.

Backdoor.Win32.Bifrose.bcb
New malicious software was found in the attached file.
It’s detection will be included in the next update. Thank you for your help.

and yet to receive any confirmation from NOD32 how ever they have confirmed that they would look into the suspected file for analysis and if necessary it would be added to their Virus definition signature next update..

Hi,

thank you for the sample. It will be added to the database if necessary.

I would hope they would also update the NOD32 defination also…

This was the complete picture, who detcted it who and didnt…

Well to be honest I am not happy to make the find !!! as it should have been done by our AVS which we most use like NOD32 and Kaspersky !!

But I am happy atleast they are quick to look in to the issue to update the database as soon as it is possible for them !!
