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

NOTE: The hash is only listed for the first detected malicious file. SHA/MD5 hash should not be intended as a security/antivirus solution, instead it provides you an additional information, allowing you to identify known malware files.
