EBlaster false positive?
Hi oldwolfe, thanks for the suggestion.
I am pretty sure that prior to the scan I had updated Spybot, and received a message that there was no later update available. Also I have deleted the offending documents so now I have nothing to scan.
I had perhaps better make another post on another forum about false positives.
Thanks for the help though.
I was once advised, by a very savvy person, to google any malware before deleting it, and checking in with this forum would have been a good idea. Back when I was using AVG anti spyware (in the good old days when you could use their anti spyware on its own) I ran a scan with another AV app (one I didn't use usually but someone suggested it to solve some sort of problem I was having at the time). This identified a file AVG used to use for "benchmarking" as malware. I deleted it, then I googled, and found I had to reinstall AVG.
So it is good to check first.
