Well I thought it was just a microsoft application failing to work when it kept crashing but I went to load avast! just to update the software and it so happens it detected this in the memory/boot scan as a trojan horse..
What should I do? Will avast! clean this or do I need more?
About half of the downloads claiming to be free versions of Microsoft's Vista operating system are actually malicious Trojan horse software, security vendor DriveSentry warned Thursday.
'With Vista's consumer launch just days away, hackers have been bombarding discussion boards with offers of "cracked" versions of Windows Vista, which are typically being distributed on peer-to-peer networks' said John Lynch, vice president of sales and marketing for DriveSentry.
'These posts offer downloads of the operating system that skip Vista's activation process, created by Microsoft to prevent users from running illegal copies.'
