Generic detection

Recognising unknown malware by its similarity to known items.
Generic detections are a sophisticated type of detection used by antivirus programs to identify files with malicious characteristics. Items not identified exactly by a signature can be considered similar enough to a known item to merit an alert, and in many cases even a class identification. Generic detection means detecting and removing multiple threats using a single virus definition.

NOTE: The hash is only listed for the first detected malicious file. SHA/MD5 hash is not intended as a security/antivirus solution; it provides additional information that allows you to identify known malware files.

  • Install the latest updates for your operating system and installed software.
