Never heard of FinFisher until now.
I deleted the file (or so I thought), but ran another search and found this:
finfisher.torrent 8/10/2014 4:00PM TORRENT File 3.401KB uTorrent (C:\Users\2dogs\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent)
Could it have been downloaded with uTorrent, which I did download (but hardly ever used)?
Or was it some rouge alt coin program d/l?
I'm surprised SUPERAntiSpyware didn't detect this.
You might have accidentally downloaded it. The real and important question is what the extension of that file was. Was it .torrent, .exe, .zip or something else? I wasn't aware of Finfisher until recently either ,however you obviously have not done enough research as you find it surprising that your AV/AntiSpyware program didn't detect it.
FinFisher was designed solely to infiltrate and spy on systems and is only sold to governments. I believe that most of the information about it was revealed by Snowden.
You should take a look here:
https://wikileaks.org/spyfiles4/documents.html and download the file: Anti-Virus-Results-FinSpy-PC-4.40.xlsx . Checking that file will show you that almost no software detects it.
More information can also be found here:
https://wikileaks.org/spyfiles4/This is actually quite interesting though as Wikileaks themselves have stated the following:
In order to prevent any accidental execution and infection, the following files have been renamed and compressed in password protected archives (the password is "infected"). They are weaponised malware, so handle carefully.
I did not however want to risk anything until I set up an environment for testing.
