malware

Post by evansg98 »

Product, version and build: Powershell Studio 2016
32 or 64 bit version of product: 64
Operating system: Windows 10
32 or 64 bit OS: 64
PowerShell Version: 5.0.10586.494

After allowing the Sapien updater to update Powershell Studio, I noticed the following Windows notification.

Restart your PC
We found [Trojan:Win32/Rundas!plock] in [SAPIEN Powershell V2 Host (Windows Forms) Win32.exe]. Restart your PC to remove it.

After the update, the version of Powershell Studio is 5.2.127. I think Windows Defender cleaned it, but I thought it would be a good idea to notify Sapien in case something malicious made it into one or more of the updates.

While there is a chance that your computer was infected, this is most likely a false positive. Our builds are routinely scanned and currently we who no results.
I would suggest to update your Defender definitions and, when in doubt, submit the allegedly infected file to the antivirus/malware scanner vendor, in this case Microsoft.
