Trojan.PSPBrick and Downgrading

Lately we have been receiving emails from concerned users about finding a trojan in MPH?s Downgrader file that we host (the file itself being toc2rta‘s overflow.tif exploit.) The reason it shows up as a virus is due to the fact that a group called ?PSP Team? released a program that would brick (break) your PSP by flashing bad data on the firmware of the PSP. Since then, Symantec has dubbed this program Trojan.PSPBrick and companies have added it to their list of viruses to scan for. So to clear things up, the MPH Downgrader is not a trojan, nor is overflow.tif. It is on your antivirus software because it found a .tiff file that accesses the PSP’s firmware.

We have had over 30,000 downloads of the MPH 2.0 -> 1.5 firmware downgrader with ZERO reports of bricked PSPs.

Also, Dark Killer from our forums has created a program called PSafeP which will scan eboot.pbp files to look for code that could be harmful to your PSP.

Thanks for the pic Daniel S.
