Trojan-Proxy.Ranky

[cloudforest]

Hello.

A scan by Spybot-S&D and Norton Antivirus did NOT detect any problems, but Spyware Doctor detected the following threat:

Trojan-Proxy.Ranky
Threat Level: High
File: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\CDRecord\readcd.exe
Description:
Trojan-Proxy.Ranky is a Proxy Trojan which is designed to listen on a specified TCP port for incoming requests. It contacts a remote site to report the infection and then serves as an HTTP proxy, allowing attackers the ability to route HTTP traffic through the infected computer.

OS: Windows XP SP2

Spyware Doctor version details:
Spyware Doctor version 5.0.1.205
Database Version: 5.07800
Intelli-Signatures: 644,556

Acronis Partition Expert version info:
Acronis Partition Expert 2003 (Build 277)

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\CDRecord\readcd.exe: size is 48,640 bytes
(C: is an NTFS drive)

I believe this is a legitimate file used by Acronis Partition Expert. Is this a false positive or is the file really infected?

I would appreciate any info. Thank you.

Thanks for your response.

None of the scanners at jotti.org flagged my "readcd.exe" file as unsafe.
Of the two or three dozen scanners at virustotal.com, the file was flagged as potentially unsafe by only the following two scanners:
eSafe 7.0.15.0 2007.07.24 suspicious Trojan/Worm
Panda 9.0.0.4 2007.07.27 Suspicious file

You mentioned sending to a PC Tools threat expert. Could you point me to the URL or the email address for that? Thanks.
