HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B

Posted: April 12, 2011

HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B is a false positive caused by certain brands of anti-malware programs. Since HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B isn't a real infection you shouldn't take any actions to try to remove files or other components associated with HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B. Updating your scanners to the latest available databases should fix this fake detection alert and let you run scans without seeing any more entries of HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B cluttering up your results.

HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B is a Simple Error in Virus Detection and Unnecessary Panic for the User

Rather than being a known threat, HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B is a simple false alarm or false positive that shows an infection when there isn't one really there. This infection result occurs when using outdated versions of Avira software, a well-known brand for anti-malware security software. The false detection is harmless except in the sense that HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B may cause you or Avira software to accidentally delete innocent files on your PC.

HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B was only confirmed as a problem early in April of 2011, and many older versions of Avira software or newer versions without the latest updates may be prone to creating the HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B error. Currently other brands of anti-malware programs aren't known to create this false positive, and there is no currently known malware threat in the wild that goes by the name of HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B.

HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B appears to be specific to the '7.11.05.167' versions of Virus Definition Files (or VDFs) used by Avira programs. If you're using a different version of the software than the above version, you shouldn't have to worry about HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B results.

What to Do to Solve the HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B Problem

If you would like to get your anti-malware software back on track and delete HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B from your scanning results, you have two options:

  • Uninstall your Avira application and switch to different anti-malware software. Since HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B is specific to the Avira brand, using a different brand of anti-malware scanners to tend to your PC security will completely sidestep this false detection issue.
  • Update your Avira application to the latest available update. HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B detection has been solved as of version '7.11.05.178' of the brand's VDF files, making HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B a non-issue if you have access to updates.

Above it all, avoid deleting files or other system components that trigger the HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B detection. Since HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B isn't a real infection, deleting anything that the software detects by this label could develop crucial harm to your PC operating system.

Unless you're actually seeing HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B in your scanning results, you shouldn't need to worry about HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B. Since HTML/Dldr.Bandom.B was only noted early in April and cured in a matter of days, the window of time for experiencing this problem is relatively small, and many users will not experience it. This is particularly true if one updates irregularly and leapfrogs past the '7.11.05.167' VDF version up to a more recent version.
