Trojan:W32/Black.A

Name : Trojan:W32/Black.A
Detection Names : Packed.Win32.Black.a
Category:Malware
Type:Trojan
Platform:W32

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 you have a file that is from a trusted, legitimate source and it has been detected as Packed.Win32.Black.a, you may opt to continue using the file by excluding it from real-time scanning. Exclusion instructions can be found from:
