McAfee update classifies Vista component as a Trojan
- http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/21/mc...an_false_alert/
21 October 2008 - "McAfee has fixed an update glitch that wrongly slapped a Trojan classification on components of Microsoft Vista. As a result of a misfiring update, published on Monday, the Windows Vista console IME executable was treated as a password-stealing Trojan. Depending on their setup, McAfee users applying would have typically found the component either quarantined or deleted. The antivirus firm fixed the glitch with a definition update on Tuesday that recognised the difference between the Vista component and malware, as explained in a write-up by McAfee here*. False positives with virus signature updates are a perennial problem for antivirus vendors, and the latest glitch is far from the first such occurrence to befall McAfee. Only two months ago in August McAfee wrongly categorised a plug-in for Microsoft Office Live Meeting as a Trojan."

AVG flags ZoneAlarm as malware
- http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10067148-83.html
October 15, 2008 - "Grisoft, makers of AVG antivirus, on Wednesday released a new update addressing a false positive in another security product. On Tuesday, AVG users reported desktops warnings that their desktop was infected with something called Trojan Agent r.CX... The ZoneAlarm user forum soon filled with concerned users... Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager of Check Point's ZoneAlarm consumer division said, "as soon as Check Point learned that AVG's recent antivirus update was mistakenly flagging a ZoneAlarm file as a virus, we contacted AVG and they issued an update within hours that corrected the problem. AVG users will automatically get the update that corrects the issue." In July, Grisoft modified its free AVG 8 due to complaints about a proactive scanning of a Web site feature. The feature that had been enabled in the paid version of the product did not scale with the free release causing spikes in Web traffic."
- http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/16/av...an_false_alarm/
16 October 2008 - "...The mis-firing AVG definition file tagged components of ZoneAlarm as infected with the Agent_r.CX Trojan horse and quarantined important files. As a result users running the popular antivirus package alongside security suite software from Check Point were left with a malfunctioning firewall, mystery infection reports and an inability to re-install their ZoneAlarm software..."

McAfee Security Bulletin - VirusScan Engine update fixes bypasses
- https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=...ctp=LIST_RECENT
April 29, 2009
• Description
There is an issue with engine DAT versions where specially crafted archive files could cause a scanning process to miss files within the archive. These archives are corrupt, but still functional by some end user archive programs. This could allow malware to bypass a scanner on a gateway. Users utilizing on-access scanning on endpoint devices should not be affected, as the scanner will see the files after the archive is opened. An attack, even if it is successful at bypassing the gateway, will have no lasting effect on the endpoint running an on-access scanner, which is the default and recommended way of running our Anti-Virus products. Updating to the latest product version will resolve this issue.
• Remediation
Overview: Download appropriate DAT file 5600 or later.
Obtaining the Binaries: http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads/secur...updates/dat.asp
• Workaround
All users should enable On-Access-Scanning on all endpoint devices. This is the default setting after installation. By using On-Access-Scanning, endpoints will catch any threats that may pass on gateway devices. McAfee has long supported a defense-in-depth strategy that includes running antivirus software on multiple points of your network, including gateways, file servers, and especially endpoints...
