Mane -> Trojan Horse False Alarm? (7/18/2008 9:41:37)
|
Yesterday my anti-virus (AVG Free 8.0.136) told me that there was a 'Trojan Horse Generic10.BDRL' at C:\hp\recovery\wizard\SWR_Wizard.exe on my HP Pavilion computer (part of what I believe is some sort of software repair software that comes with the computer that I never used), in a folder that hasn't been modified in over two years.
Looking at the AV history now I see AVG also spotted the same type of virus in C:\System Volume Information\_restore{bunchofhex}\randomcharacters\otherhex.exe (which it didn't feel it had to inform me about, evidently)
I 'quarantined' the file, but is it possible there was actually a virus there or can AV software make mistakes like that with my system recovery software?
