![]() In addition, it is known to attach itself to flash games as they install. ![]() Idp alexa 51 is another viral identity protection virus that can infect your files and computer. IDP stands for Identity Protection, so the threat you face could be trying to steal your identity. Your antivirus’ Identity Protection Detection component is responsible for such detection an idp.generic virus can be very dangerous to keep among your files. Virus Total can scan any files for malicious content when you upload them it is a good way to double-check your flagged files before deleting them. If you are skeptical about the files flagged by your antivirus, we advise you to scan them with another antivirus. We recommend having your antivirus always updated to its latest version when it is not a false positive may occur, as some virus definitions have not been updated. The virus would infect either program files or game files, and if presumably yours are indeed infected, you are prone to data damage or loss. In some cases, it was a false positive flag, yet we advise you not to ignore it and take action if you encounter this warning. If you are currently experiencing such problems, keep reading to know more about them and how to deal with them.Īs we mentioned earlier, the idp.generic avast warning warns users about many files that may be acting maliciously. Unfortunately, in addition to the idp.generic avast virus warning, another virus, idp alexa 51, has also been roaming around flash games and infecting them as they install. The idp.generic avast notice flags some files as malicious. ![]() Fortunately I have a habit of copy+c every message I write before submitting.Earlier this year, many users encountered a idp.generic avast warning. I see that your forum is still affected by that "post vanishes when submitted" horrible bug, it's been years already (I vaguely remember that in some topic I investigated and posted the results why it happens but nothing has been done to it). While at the same time, scanning in the Virus Chest always produces the IDP.Generic result. So it's not that.Ĭould you answer this also: Also ran Avast explorer scan on the restored file and it doesn't find anything wrong with the file. And I went even further, in "clean" VirtualBox Win8, I installed the same uTorrent version (I've a copy of all installers of the programs I use) there and again checked with "dir /r" command and there's no alternate data streams present. Still, I double checked from batch with "dir /r" command and there's no alternate data streams present. Like I wrote, the quarantined file, uTorrent.exe, was from install folder, it was not downloaded, nor it was auto-updated by uTorrent. Which finally brings us back to the real issue in this topic: The user comments in that article does not paint a pretty picture.Īlso, from the article: "Once it identifies something really fishy, it stops the action and reports the behavior to you, before any damage can be done." What's with that?ĮDIT2: Currently running uTorrent and downloading, Avast doesn't seem to mind it anymore? Weird. ![]() It's a properly signed file (BitTorrent Inc, sha256RSA) so I don't think that there's anything wrong with it.Īlso ran Avast explorer scan on the restored file and it doesn't find anything wrong with the file. So at least 50% of the shield settings do not work, dunno about the exclusions whether those work or not.ĮDIT: I restored the file from the Virus Chest and ran VirusTotal scan, here's the analysis. The reason I chose to try out the new Behavior Shield is that it offered an "always ask" setting. I've set the "Please define how you would like to deal with suspicious program behavior" to "always ask".ġ) So why was uTorrent.exe silently quarantined?Ģ) Is it normal that a file that was quarantined is left in the file system as empty/0 bytes? I gather that the IDP refers to the Behavior Shield. BUT, there it was, uTorrent.exe in Virus Chest, added on 23.4., with IDP.Generic as the cause. without my consent (I have only File System & Behavior Shields installed). I kind of panicked at what was going on in my computer, faulty HD, malware, etc.? Few minutes went and I remembered to check the Avast Virus Chest, though nothing should be there because I have set the Avast settings so that nothing gets cleaned/quarantined/etc. I checked the install folder (%APPDATA%\uTorrent\) and the uTorrent.exe file was 0 bytes. ![]() torrent file and it didn't open uTorrent client at all. ![]()
