sorry for being so suspicious, it was just strange that a program like this is making those connections, but its understandable as you explained. |

I believe most trainers in this site are safe especially KHUT. However, some antivirus programs still give false detection on some trainers and it is completely normal. @MuhammadAlle To answer your question, in order to explain why sometimes antivirus programs "falsely" detects trojans in trainers, you have to know what trojan basically does and what a trainer does. Trojan, it is usually malware program containing or consisting of array of codes that're defined to carry out actions on the memory to cause the transport or loss of data directly, which also access to different part of computer and memory unauthorized, like a "backdoor" . Another key feature of Trojan horse is that it can not replicate itself. Torjans are malicious programs that are disguised to be unsuspicious, excuting actions in ways that look like normal. Most of the torjans usually have names that catch user's attention/interest (and those keywords are usually irrelevant to the actual usage of the program), such as startnow.exe or click.exe, in order to induce people to download or start the trojan. On the other hand, what does a trainer or hack do? Change of memory, sometime even in the non-executable and non-writable part. Access to and scan in large part of memory. Some file names and registry ids even contain keywords that are usually appearing in the trojans case. If you look into it deeply, they are quite similar in many point of views. Many antivirus program's heuristic analysis / hyper scan procedures are derived from the characteristics of trojans. THEREFORE, some trainers or hacks always falsely defined as trojans because of the similarities between them. Some less complete / outdated antivirus program database therefore may leads to the false detection of trojans for some programs more often. For example, the WL-090e2df495b51e173943ec4bdeb82a2d-0-TR/Cridex.EB.16, WL-4572fd2833abd750e70c735bdb33fdfd-0-TR/Cridex.EB.23, WL-3edf002334d86b974940c7f1cd950ad4-0-TR/Rogue.KD.637567.7 etc, were famous trojans once and their false detection rate 're over 3.43% in year 2012 in the avira and malwarebytes international viruses database. Imagine, there are tens of thousands of new trojans and viruses each year and those few types' false detection case covered over 3% of total. They were famous not because of their destruction level but their disguising power. Many programs were falsely detected as those trojans when those trojans alias firstly come out, such as bittorrent clients, downloading softwares, copy assist programs, renaming programs, game trainers, compression programs, game hack, game tool, etcetc you name it. Even the most famous and successful antivirus programs did make those mistake for over 6 weeks. Viral technological advances every single day however global antivirus analysis tech is almost the same as 17 months ago. It's not hard to understand that, the antivirus programs will continue to make mistakes on new viruses and new trojans detection. I may not know much on hacking and computing but I learn and memorize a lot of technological facts, history and information thanks to my fulltime work. Antivirus programs having false detection is inevitable and even becoming a tendency. This global problem can not be solved easily unless trojans and viruses slow down advancing exponentially, which is impossible. As a normal person and employee, I would just say what I say to my customers and clients everyday ; Use multiple antivirus programs, in order to prevent false detection caused by the fact that that particular company isn't focusing on dealing with some particular viruses types. For example, avira spends most resources on worms and trojans aspect however its malware and spywares database is not as good as that of Malwarebytes. Use 3-5 good international antivirus programs to scan, and send back the results to their department they should contact you in 3 working days. Listen to their advice and Compare the results then you should be able to deduce if the trainer/program is actually having viruses/trojans or it is simply a false detection and it is safe to use. |
