Endpoint Protection

Hi All,

Anybody receiving virus alerts on C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe?

Google searches indicate this is a legitimate software but it's popping up on different systems.

I am getting these too and actually had made another post as well, hopefully Symantec will have more info soon.

Why can't we find more on this!! I keep getting these!!  It's getting deleted but it's concerning me now.

We are also getting these.  Have either of you submitted the file to Symantec?

No I haven't, I will.

I was trying to figure out some correlation!

I can't submit, because the files were deleted.  I will have to think of something or change the setting.

I didn't fair so well. Symantec permanently deleted the Adobe Gamma Loader from my PC! Not good!

Suggestions?

Can you open a case with Symantec and ask it be relooked.

I'd might suggest adding to central exception policy to prevent further impact until the issue is resolved rather than reducing security.

Ifly -- Check your quarantine.  Even if SEP is configured to delete the file, it might still have a backup in Quarantine.  If so, you can still restore the file by selecting the item in Quarantine and clicking on 'Restore'.

If your configuration policy isn't set to backup files before deletion, then you can only change that setting to protect yourself next time.

I opened a case with Support, and they confirmed the false positive.  It should be fixed in certified defs r17 from today, or for sure in tomorrow's base certified defs.

I'll leave my centralized exception entry in place until Monday just to be sure ;)

Confirmed false positive?

Hi Folks: 

We have been able to confirm this as a false positive.  The Symantec folks stated that the file was clean.

Hello,

Symantec have received multiple reports of a file named Adobe Gamma Loader.exe being detected as Trojan.Gen.X. It is confirmed this was a False Positive.

It was resolved as of definition Version: 20120921.003.

It is recommended to make sure you are running the Latest version of Virus Definitions on the Symantec Endpoint Protection clients.

Hope that helps!!

Confirmed: the current certified definitions should not detect the valid/legitimate "Adobe Gamma Loader.exe" files as Trojan.Gen.X.  If anyone is seeing this file still being detected with today's current defs, please be aware that it may be a malicious file using the name of that Adobe file.
