Can JS:includer-BAO[Trj] Be False Positive?

JS:includer-BAO[Trj] has been deemed by most surfers as a website lock with its warning alert popping up whenever a site is activated. So far, only Avast (an anti-virus program) has been detected to release the warning. However, the sites convicted manage to prove innocence with VirusTotal tool (a famous URL online scanner). The probability of JS:includer-BAO[Trj] being false positive soars high in this case. If it is false positive, then why anti-virus program would report it; and if JS:includer-BAO[Trj] is not false positive, what helps to define? Keep reading to find out more. If you have questions about defining JS:includer-BAO[Trj] as false positive or not, please do feel free to contact VilmaTech Online Support and get specialized technical help.

 

Signs to Define If JS:includer-BAO[Trj] Is False Positive

If the following problems emerge to surface after the alert warning about JS:includer-BAO[Trj] affection, the alert is definitely positive.

1. Redirects and hijacks increase in frequency to ruin surfing experience.
2. CPU is gobbled up to result in a sluggish PC performance.
3. Additional items such as web applications and infections, Trojan particularly, will be detected before long.

 

Dangers of JS:includer-BAO[Trj]

JS:includer-BAO[Trj] is specifically categorized as JS Trojan horse with high elusiveness and the capability of arousing browser mass with Script technology. It shares much with JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj] to execute the following evil deeds:

1. Take advantage of script technology to preload js:includer-bao’s code into browser setting without examination and thus monitor online activities.
2. Utilize script technology to record input and dodge automatic modification by security utilities.
3. Exploit ports that we seldom use to upload collected information and help download additional items for illegal revenue.

It is obvious that JS:includer-BAO[Trj] threatens both computer health and information security. It should come to your knowledge that as the Trojan horse enters into browser settings, it manages to inject its code and executable files into relevant running processes (explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe for example) to consolidate its settlement. As a consequence, more problems will be caught to happen on browser and will not be solved by anti-virus programs automatically.
 

Reasons for JS:includer-BAO[Trj] False Positive

Without the above listed signs, JS:includer-BAO[Trj] can be defined as false positive. Then why Avast keeps reporting it? It should be widely informed that most captcha-bypass software are written with EPL (Easy Programming Language) which is non-mainstreaming language. Software based on this language is very likely to be flagged.

Senior technicians at VilmaTech Online Support have made a test for proof: we created a new blank window with EPL and compiled it statically to exe; then we scan the window with security utility; for the first time, suspicious file was found; for the second time, virus alert was finally released. Also captcha-bypass software with shell, though whose objective is to prevent source code from random view and modification, holds fat chance to be reported by anti-virus programs.

One should also be told that anti-virus programs are not as smart as we think they are. They catch virus according to virus signature. Every anti-virus company has its own virus signature files containing a large number of binary strings and correspondent virus names. Binary strings are made from the virus analysis by anti-virus company and divided into several groups according to functions/features such as disrupting system files, modifying procedure code, copying self and spreading via the Internet. It is the feature/functions that anti-virus programs rely on to differentiate vicious programs from normal ones.
