SuperAntiSpyware picking up a Steam trojan?

happita · Mar 14, 2013

SuperAntiSpyware picked this up just now when I started scanning:

I went through the process, got rid of it, was asked to reboot to finish up the process. Done.

When I entered Windows after that I scanned again, came out clean.

Then I opened Steam and it went through these steps in the "updating" session:
Updating Steam
Extracting package
Installing update
Cleaning up

Then goes into the Steam login screen. I did a scan again after it was completed "updating" then my SAS picks up the exact file again.

I'm what you call an extremely contientious web surfer, I only visit websites I know are trustworthy. Is this just me? SAS has never picked up anything like this before. Should I be worried?

It could be a false positive? I will check mine in a minute.

*Edit*

scanned with AVG and got nothing.

False. Get another AV.

Definitely time for a new AV, Malwarebytes and AVG both come up clean.

Thanks guys. I use SuperAntiSpyware along with Malware bytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. The latter 2 didn't pick it up, so I guess I'm in the clear.

Go to VirusTotal and upload the file for testing.
It's what I use when I am not sure about a specific result from a single AV product.

Malwarebytes was throwing a false positive for this half a year ago.

Malwarebytes

It looks like SuperAntiSpyware is playing catch-up. If you search "avutil-51.dll" on Google, you'll turn up a number of threads on Steam and some threads on different AV websites. They corrected their issues, as users have indicated.

Also, do you go by Joshy471 on Reddit?

I have the file too although nothing picks it up as hostile and that's with a fresh install as of yesterday.

Just downloaded Malwarebytes and ran it trail and came up clean.

And from malwarebytes and turned out to be a false positive.
