Anyone seeing wsus content being detect as a mal/generic-l virus?

armyants

Five files were detected after a full scan today.  I have the latest virus definitions and the 9.7 client.  D:\WSUS\WsusContent\19\61640FF41A27B72A35669DD1E3698896ED089019.exe and four other files were detected.  I'm hoping it's a false positive.

    Hello armyants ,

    Mal/Generic-L is - as its name implies - a generic detection. Thus occasional false positives are not surprising (and neither is the fact that other vendors do not detect a threat). OTOH I've seen Mal/Generic-L detecting quite a number of mutations as well as "new" threats and it's always a good idea to send in a sample.
