Please submit a sample to Virus Total --
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
The submission will then be tested against many different AV vendor's scanners.
That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it. In addition Virus
Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors.
You can also submit a suspect, one at a time, via the following email URL...
mailto:[email protected]?subject=SCAN
When you get the report, please post back the exact results.

| David,
| How's about answering my question?
My reply clearly stated "In addition Virus Total will provide the sample to all
participating vendors."
The virustotal report I posted shows the vendors.You weren't specific as to what vendors. I have a laundry list of submission addresses.

I meant, you weren't specific as to what vendors you should contact to send the sample
submission.
I'll tell you what. Send me a sample and I will get it distributd ASAP. I have direct
contact with numerous anti malware vendors.
Send it to me in a password proected ZIP file with the password being; infected
{ password = infected }
Just remove ~nospam~ from my posting email address.

NB: Identifying that it's infected isn't the problem. Fixing it isn't
the problem. I've done both, two days ago.
I confirmed that it was infected via upload to the virustotal.com,
virscan.org and virus.org sites. I've since re-uploaded/scanned it on
those sites: it is clear that the various vendors either aren't hooked
into them at all or are very slow in updating their definitions
because there are still only a minority recognising it.

You mean you don't know? That file has been in mine for a few months now.
