Hi there hope this is in the right place , i have a problem i have downloaded a program called Butt, Its a streaming program for audio its not cracked or anything , got it from here http://butt.sourceforge.net/ , now i scan it with my internet security and it fine, nothing wrong with it i have kaspersky and it shows nothing wrong with it now i have recently installed a program called malwarebytes as i wanted to rid my pc of malware and i cleaned it all up no problem, Now i have the malware on my pc if its on and i run the BUTT program it shows up with a troja.agent.ED in a .dll file in the butt program and it gets deleted now what is this and why is it deleting it and my anti virus does nothing shall i not use this BUTT program ? I am confused as to whether it ok to use or not if it not does any one know of any good audio streaming programs thanks

yep, malwarebytes detects a trojan in the setup.exe
"Trojan.Agent.ED"

I think this is just a generic label indicating that it has software that could be used to remotely access your machine without you knowing.
Sometimes the software will have license terms that basically say they can do what ever they want to your machine and you agree.
malwarebytes still marks these as malware (and they basically are but technically, you give permission for the software to to what it wants)

When malewarebytes picks up the virus, write down/memorize the exact name of the file. I assume it would be BUTT.exe but you never told us. After that type in the exact file name it says is a virus into google and see if anyone is having the same issue. It could just be a false positive though, not all Trojans are bad. The easiest solution is to use another audio streaming program, I am sure there are tons of them out there.

I would not mark it as ok because it could install what ever it wants when ever it is told to by the remote computer.
you never know who is controlling the trojan. it is better to have it flagged each time just so you remember that it is there even if you want it there.
