Xampp false positive?

Hello,

I have installed Xampp1.7.3 but Sophos gives "Suspicious file warning HIPS/ProcInj-001" on 2 files;

Xampp_cli.exe,
Xamp-contrile.exe.

I have searched the forum with xampp key words but can't find any one els with this problem and i downloaded the installer from the official site(www.apachefriends.org).

Is this a known issue or does anyone els have the same problem, what should i do?

Thanks,

Gitrah

Hello Gitrah,

as the analysis of HIPS/ProcInj-001 says this could indicate a malware infection and Please note that the behavior of some legitimate product installers can sometimes resemble that of malware. Also if you follow the link to the article deciding whether to allow or block a file you'll find the following paragraph:

What next?

If, after reading this guide, you decide that the item is legitimate, authorize it. if an application is identified which you believe is fairly widely used, and you feel that the level of detection is too sensitive, please submit the file to SophosLabs and ask to have the application reviewed.

If you decide that the item is suspicious and you are reluctant to authorize it, send it to SophosLabs for analysis.

I hope this answers your question

Christian
