Acute Angle Solutions Ltd – 18% Detection Rate -PullUpdate / AcuteAngle / Injekt

Welcome! If you are a regular here on the FreeFixer blog you know that I’ve been looking on the certificates used to sign files that bundled various types of unwanted software. Today I found another certificate, while reviewing files submitted to the FreeFixer database, used by a publisher called Acute Angle Solutions Ltd..

You may see Acute Angle Solutions Ltd. appear as the publisher when checking the digital signature under the file’s properties.

It seems as the filename for this file is randomly generated: yzmHYl.dll.

Anyway, the reason I’m writing this blog post is that the Acute Angle Solutions Ltd. file is detected by many of the anti-malware scanners at VirusTotal. Antiy-AVL names yzmHYl.dll as Trojan/Win32.TSGeneric, AVG reports Acute.A40, Avira calls it Adware/PullUpdate.AQ, GData calls it Win32.Adware.AcuteAngle.B, Sophos classifies it as Pull Update and VIPRE detects it as Injekt (fs).
