dban trojaned

[NetifxSixteen]

is it possible the dban i used to be trojaned?

 

i dont remember if i download it from the site (i believe i did)

 

alhough i scanned, the burned cd and copied the files (from the cd) to the desktop, with malwarebytes and they found nothing.

 

i removed the ethernet cable during the process (wiping) if that says something

 

 

edit: after the wiping had finished (around 40hours), the word failed in a red box appeared in the after screen.

I guess anything can be trojaned (love the word, BTW) but given that DBAN is such a simple program, I'd imagine any antivir would catch it. You experiencing some problems that lead you to believe it's malicious?

nope, my brain just sees everything as trojaned

 

so malwarebytes would catch it before even burning the cd?

i scanned it (the cd) today (4-5 days after the burn) and nothing appeared on the results.

Well, it does have to scan it to be able to detect it. So I guess if you skipped the scan during download and before burning it, there could be something in there. But I don't see why it would make a difference whether you scan it on the CD or before burning it. The data is the same. Generic trojans are easy catches for Malwarebytes and pretty much any antivir software. I wouldn't worry.

Yup i believe so. The data stayed the same on the cd so scanning it before or after it wouldnt bring a different result.

Does downloaded files get scanned by default by malwarebytes? Wow didnt notice that.

Thanks for the answer and the info buddy^^
