    Default ModestyPatch.exe detected by Kaspersky as a Trojan downloader

    Today I made a virus scan with the Kaspesky Online Scanner, and it detected the file "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\TempFixes\ModestyPatch.exe" being infected with Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.cbr. I uploaded it to Jotti's malware scan, and there F-Secure Anti-Virus also found it infectec with Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.cbr, so I don't think it is a false positive.

    I've never noticed this file before. What does it do (or supoosed to do, at least)? Has it been infected by the malware from outside, or was it flawed from the beginning? When I check its properties, the file was "changed" the last time at the same time that it was created, which I guess means never at all.

    Dooes anyone know more about this? If you upload your ModestyPatch.exe to Jotti's malware scan, does it come up as malware or not?

    Modesty patch puts a groincloth (or pants or something) on the Gaesatae.

    Edit:
    Mine was also detected as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.cbr on the Jotti scan (by F-Secure & Kaspersky) O_o
    Could just be a false detection since the others don't see it as a problem?

    Hmm. The installer was made with a reputable program and only contains the "modesty" files themselves and a standard msi installer file.

    It appears this is a newly detected trojan, so perhaps they haven't fine tuned its detection yet? I've not seen any suspicious behaviour from the installer anyhow.

    The installer does hang-up and sit around not doing anything for up to 15 minutes at a time, for some people, including myself. That is the only weird thing I've seen from the installer.
