The detection of AstaKiller appears to be a false positive that should be corrected with the next update. See the following thread:
Possible F/P, AstaKiller ?

Just wanna say Thanks a lot.
I just update the SSD and ran a scan. I thought the Astakiller false warning wouldn't appear, but it did. The astakiller warning appeared in the scan
I don't know if I haven't have the update to fix the false alarm
Could you clear me on this.
Thanks a lot
I already updated the SSD, but after I ran a scan, SSD still give me warning of possible threat of AstaKiller.
When I ran a scan with BitDefender 10, it shows same result.
Scan result from BitDefender 10:
<System>=>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MEZZIACODEC.CHL Detected: Trojan.Nebuler-G
<System>=>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MEZZIACODEC.CHL Deleted
<System> Update failed
Scan result from SSD

So, I'm quite confused. If the AstaKiller is false warning, why the BitDefender show the same result.
Is the Bitdefender also shows a false warning.
I ran scans with Ad-Aware SE Personal and AVG Anti-Spyware and both show no infections - system is clean.
Could you clear me on this. It scared seeing warning of possible threats.
Thanks a lot
