Summary
A program with potential security concerns, which does not easily fit into any other category.
Additional Details
The Packed.Win32.Black.a detection identifies files that are packed with a stolen version of the Themida software protection program.
Stolen versions of this program (which are usable with leaked licenses) can be used to hide malware. Identifying a file that has been packed by a stolen version is therefore a precautionary measure against potentially malicious files.
Legitimate Files
Please note that clean files which have been packed using a stolen version may also be detected.
If a file from a trusted, legitimate source has been detected as Other:W32/Black.A, you may opt to continue using the file by excluding it from real-time scanning. Exclusion instructions can be found at:
