Both scans came back clean, reporting no infections, so I believe in this case the detection of pdm:trojan:wingeneric within JDownloader was, in fact, a false positive a red herring, if you will. Would JDownloader have then downloaded some malicious payload, once it had gained my trust?
I decided an experiment was called for to help restore my faith that JDownloader was completely safe to use. A VM allows you to install an operating system and other software, keeping them completely isolated from your real computer. If a VM becomes infected with a virus for example, you can just delete the VM or revert it to an earlier state by using a snapshot. Usually, at this point I would have installed Kaspersky, but for our experiment I wanted to allow JDownloader to have free-reign over the VM without any security software blocking or monitoring it.
I then downloaded the clean version of JDownloader as described earlier and launched it, Over the course of the next month, I closed and opened JDownloader a number of times, adding downloads and entering my credentials for the premium cloud hosting services such as Mega. A couple of times I observed JDownloader perform an automatic update, this time unhindered by any Anti-Virus.
After a month of intense JDownloader use, the day had finally arrived to see what damage it had done to my VM. I installed the latest version of KAV Kaspersky Anti-Virus , performed a manual update to bring the engine and virus definitions up to date, and then ran a full scan.
As the VM was fairly light-weight the full scan completed in around twenty minutes and as expected, no threats were detected. So, after a month of using JDownloader on an unprotected system, allowing it to auto-update whenever it liked, there were no infections found.
Although a little redundant after performing a full file-system scan, I decided to perform a selective scan of the JDownloader folder, here are the results:. I personally believe that JDownloader2 is safe to use and does not contain any malicious code. Danke, hatte dieses Problem jetzt auch Ziehe sonst nix mit Jdowny runter Dextork ohne Premium ist so ein Speed aber normal!
