ESET on Win32/Kryptik.JX official statement

On Monday March 9th 2009 at 5:52 CET, ESET released an update of our heuristics v.1091 together with standard virus definition update no. 3918. An error in the heuristics caused a malfunction in the Windows operating system by false identification of several system files including dllhost.exe, and msdtc.exe, which were catalogued as Win32/Kryptik.JX.

Thanks to immediate reaction, less than 5% of our users were affected. A new update version no. 3919 was released at 9:00 CET which corrects the above described malfunction.
