I've used uTorrent version 2.0.4 for many months now, but just recently
Norton has been detecting the program's help file as a Trojan.Dropper.
The file was picked up in my last full scan a few days ago and
quarantined. u'Torrent' (http://vuze.elk.pl/)'s Help feature downloads a
.zip file containing a copy of the help file and extracts it, but when I
do this, the new help file gets blocked by Auto-Protect.
I checked the .zip file out on VirusTotal and get a 3/42 result (eSafe
and PCTools have the same detection). I checked it a few times,
including once having it get the file directly from uTorrent's site.
Also had it scan the help files for a few older and newer versions of
the program, but this was the only one I saw that showed any sort of
detection.
I also tried sending a false positive report, but only got back a
generic response saying that this has been found to be a risk and that
Norton will continue with the detection, along with a bunch of
unhelpful/outdated links.
I was hoping to find out why this file was being detected, and if
there's anything I can do about it. I can provide a link to the .zip
containing the help file in question, if necessary.
