Hi there,
I got across a nice Autorun-based sample today, auto.exe, which has been lurking in my IT classroom since I can remember.
But the strangest thing is, MBAM scanned it and returned, "No malicious elements were found." :S
If you want me to send you a sample, feel free to ask.
Here goes VirusTotal's report: https://www.virustotal.com/es/analisis/d79e...d8f1-1257293829

Cheers!

P/S: I'm not sure if this was posted in the right forum. If it's not, I apologise, and please move it to the right place.

Greetings .

Your VT result says it all. Every major AV vendor on VT detects the sample already, hence the reason MBAM wouldn't detect it as it's designed to go after the current threats that get missed by the other vendors. For future reference though, you can submit new samples to uploads.malwarebytes.org .

Damn right you are. I like plugging my friend's USB drives and seeing how MBAM eats and eats Brontoks, rootkits and OnlineGames while avast! doesn't even say a word (I hate those pop-up windows that avast! uses for alerting).
Thanks for the explanation!
