    Default removing asta killer makes player in mce unuseable

    I ran SSD, and found a trojan threat named Asta Killer. The problem is, after i remove/fix the problem, i can't run audio and video files in Windows MCE.

    when i restored it back, problem solved. all back to normal.

    I really want to get rid the trojan. Please someone guide me.

    The detection of AstaKiller appears to be a false positive that should be corrected with the next update. See the following thread:

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.

    Default already updated

    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

    Default threats warning still exists

    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

    Microsoft.WindowsSecurityCenter.FirewallDisableNotify: Settings (Registry change, nothing done)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify!=dword:0

    AstaKiller: Root class (Registry key, nothing done)
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MezziaCodec.Chl

    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
