VirusTotal Two Detections

Jirahl · 14th October 2015, 19:42

When I scanned Winamp using Virustotal I got 2/56 detections from ClamAv and Zillya

Scanning Zillya doesn't seem to detect anything from the files inside, but ClamAV detects Win.Trojan.Ramnit-7016 from "in_linein.dll" in the plugins folder specifically.

I got worried cuz it's only on that one specific file, but is it anything to worry about or just a false positive?

Zillya? Definitely a false positive.
The other 50+ scan results show it to be safe - and are all correct :-)

It's likely to be a false positive as DJ Egg said.

I'm fed up of AV software (Avast/Norton/AVG) flagging up perfectly legit software as suspicious.

Another reason I'm glad I switched to Linux. Don't have any headaches with viruses & I can still run Winamp under wine.

Im positive that are false positives, normally doing a search in Google will show you that you are not the first that receive it.

Don't have better idea about this one you included here. I generally scan my device using avira and it's give me perfect service.

Winamp is safe. Definitely a false positive.
