I am unable to verify that this ever existed before today, is this a custom build or modified in some way?

One thing I'm almost sure is that i downloaded it from LAN sometime between 2006 and 2007.

The reason I ask is that there is decent evidence that this has only existed for about 6 hours. The MD5 has no hit as all on google and virustotal shows an initial scan earlier today. The other possibility is that for some reason putty was polymorphic back then and everyone got their own MD5 but I do not think that is likely.

The reason I was asking about default version VS. customized is that it would change how we process this.

Either way I am looking into this now.

I also started receiving warnings from Malwarebytes for the same version of PuTTY [0.62 beta] earlier today. Also tried downloading a fresh copy of PuTTY from the web and still the same Trojan.Swrort alert.

I too have begun to receive warnings from Malwarebytes for PuTTY 0.62 beta across our network. A fresh copy of PuTTY still gets flagged. Every time the alert is warning that PuTTY.exe is infected with Trojan.Swrort.
