Threat identification & removal? [Virus/Win32.slugin.iyz(2385375)]

Not applicable

I'm hoping someone can help me with a threat detected by my PA500 (details below).

I recently found entries in my Threat logs suggesting an SSL-VPN user was malware compromised. Upon closer inspection, I cannot determine exactly the nature of the threat, nor how to detect/remove the threat from the client machine. I'm hoping this is not a false positive identifying a normal function as malware.(GoogleToolbarInstaller_updater_signed.exe)

I'm not finding answers in Palo Alto's Threat database, nor in the Knowledgebase. But maybe someone here has some experience or insight regarding this threat? I'd appreciate some help, thanks!

How real is this "virus"? (I can't find detailed descriptions on PaloAlto, let alone other sources)

How do I remove the infection?

Is this expected behavior from GoogleToolbarInstaller updater?

Why is this "bad"?

Terina - We've had several downloads of the GoogleToolbarInstaller_updater_signed.exe blocked by the same Threat ID 2385375.  Suspecting that it might be a false positive, I opened a case on July 5th.  It is still being researched.  -Craig

Curious if there has been any movement on this issue.  I am seeing this alot now on our PA500 classified as Trojan/Win32.patched.ocmj(2569370).  It seems to be associated with the Google-Update application.

Hi mwaters31

I would open up a case with Support that includes the following:

1) Pcap of the threat

2) Output from the command >show system info

3) A snapshot of the threat via the threat log

We'll investigate promptly and provide a bug fix if it's deemed as a false positive.

+1.  I'd like to see the Threat Details include a MD5 Checksum so we may look at virustotal ourselves. Perhaps this will be possible with Wildfire?

Hello. I was wondering if there has been any updates to whether this is a legit threat or false positive?

According to the Tech Support working on the case I opened, a bug was found and was subsequently fixed in virus definition version 605.
