Since AVG Anti-Virus is HAI’s anti-virus software of choice and the one we always recommend to clients and friends, I figured I should let you know about a problem I ran into…
When my daily virus scan finished on Friday, I had an infection warning that c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\flashutil10a.exe was infected with Trojan horse PSW.Generic6.AQPD and had been moved to the virus vault. Since I had spent some time on Friday researching layouts for a new site, I figured some site I visited had a stupid flash ad or something and that did me in. On Saturday, I received a resident shield warning for the same trojan horse in a system restore file. I clicked heal and began searching.
I updated Spybot Search & Destroy and ran it, nothing. I remembered that AVG was unable to connect to the update server on Friday, so I made sure to update that. Then I searched Google. I found out that it’s a false positive with AVG and it should be fixed after updating the software again. So, I restored the “viruses” from the virus vault and ran a complete scan.
No viruses found!
