Did you get infected?
I dont even know what Puush is...
Edit: So its a software that allows you to upload screenshots faster... I see

It's a screenshot capture software so you can quickly share images online.

Didn't know either :P
I also don't see why you need something faster than only pushing the print screen button....

'cause you press a button and it takes a screenshot, save it, upload a copy of it online and directly copies the link to reach it in your clipboard. So with a click you've already the link to share.

Pushing the print screen button only puts your current screen to the clipboard.
Utilities like Puush and Gyazo do a LOT more than just that. They save LOTS of time and hassle.

Because you can do that with puush: http://puu.sh/gWN7e/2a010af229.png
One shortcut (ctrl +3 in my case), select the zone, release, voilà!

lel, gyazo would be way better, you just need to lock the screen region and thats it, auto upload...

as far as i know and own the product, never got an update for it, so you never get that infected updates, correct if i'm wrong...

Just because it doesn't tell you it's updated the client doesn't mean it hasn't done so. All software needs updating from time to time, especially those that use any sort of signon and/or a WAN connection.

Who's talking about sign in? you don't need to register to be able to use it, and still, everything that updates should show a notification at least... anyway, its not obvious to get infected by an update, specially a prtint uploader program...

I got the notice on one of my machines this morning. If your computer wasn't on during the day of the 29th you won't have gotten the bad update pushed out to you, but you will now see the r100 version pushed out to you regardless.
So it's time for generating new passwords for all my accounts. Woo!
I was planning on formatting my system as well anyway as I'm throwing a new OS build on, so any local unhappiness will go bye bye too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes. >_>
I don't know if I actually had the r94 version, but this morning I saw the r100 update and my pc was on at the time, so I guess I've been hit with that malware, I'm quite mad about it, I have to throw away 5 different sets of alphanumeric passwords -.-

Making new passwords is easy. http://xkcd.com/936/
Comment has been collapsed.
yup but often you can't put a password that long, I guess I'll use a password service like Keepass

Huh. AVG popped up and said it blocked a part of puush. I was confused.
Comment has been collapsed.
thx to norton (my antivirus). it blocked every access of the malware & deleted it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I highly doubt that, seeing how this "malware" doesn't act like a typical infection. As of right now no AV or anti-malware software detects the puush.daemon.exe file.
Comment has been collapsed.
i can for shure confirm to you that puush.daemon.exe was detected & removed by norton... it also blocked the unauthorized access from the malware. "Nicht authorisierter Zugriff blockiert (Datei öffnen)" = not authorized access blocked (open file)
Comment has been collapsed.
Uh.. Let me get a screenshot of AVG detection of it.

Hey look, a puush
Comment has been collapsed.
Just downloaded the checker and found out im safe!!
Good thing I have been killing puush.exe everytime I start my computer on the last few days.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wonder why I didn't get infected. Only thing I remembered is:
3/28 : I was performing network maintenance at home so no internet connection except for mobile
3/29 : I turned on my VPN yesterday because I was DLing walking dead finale
MY main assumption is the puush malware failed to infect my PC because the exact time posted by OP, my PC is on sleep

I think my heart just skipped a beat...
Wasn't infected though...

You must be liking advertisements in your screenshot links.
Comment has been collapsed.
What ads? I use links for direct images posting like on forums. Right click -> Copy Image URL -> post
Comment has been collapsed.
When ShareX can copy direct link automatically why you bother doing "Right click -> Copy Image URL" ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Because I haven't heard of anything other than Gyazo until this thread.
Remind me never to post in this forum again, I always get jumped on (like right here) for no reason at all.

I still wonder how and why I didn't get infected, but hey. My PC was on and everything but I got nothing. Weird. No notification, I even ran their scan and found out I wasn't infected. Not gonna complain but this is still weird.
Edit: oh I know, my PC was actually off when that happened. Thanks, alcohol!

As long as you didn't update to r94 during the time it was released, then you'll be fine.

Had disabled puush running on startup since few months ago
prefer using lightshot
just download checker and it says my notebook not affected

Yesterday, puush users were attacked by a malware that collected stored passwords from browsers when the software was updated to r94. The malware also keylogged anything you typed or copied and paste. The time during which infected updates were sent out was March 29 UTC18:51-21:41. puush checks for updates between every 1-6 hours.

So did anyone get infected?
Edit:
Looks like they released a detailed analysis of the malware.

Edit 2:
