1143886 2010-10-12 03:06:00 Which program is telling you you have this infection, and which file is supposedly infected? I've seen false positives with this name before...

I'd scan with malwarebytes anti malware and see if that finds anything.

1143887 2010-10-12 03:11:00 Superanti spyware found it and Quarantined it. It says it was in MY DOCS/DATA/COMPMDB.EXE. Strange as i have good Anti virus and CCleaner so I wondered. Cheers. bruciebear (1478)
1143888 2010-10-12 03:14:00 My money is on false positive. Scan it with malwarebytes and if that's clean I'd restore the file and ignore it. :2cents: wratterus (105)

If you have all the files (or had) it's probably a genuine infection, if not, false positive

1143890 2010-10-12 03:18:00 Thanks for that. So i have CCleaner and Super Antispyware so is that silly. Do I only need 1 freeware that does this type of thing? Which one is best? Cheers. bruciebear (1478)
1143891 2010-10-12 04:00:00 Ccleaner isnt an anti-virus / malware program. It maybe a false +. Others get the same thing. forums.superantispyware.com

Use an anti-virus

1143892 2010-10-12 21:24:00 I have a great Anti Virus and so far it has worked perfectly. Just wondered why SuperAntiSpyware picked up this Trojan?
Anyhow also wondered to clean up, should I have CCleaner and SuperAntiSpyware or just 1 of them? Or another one? Cheers.

You have WHAT AV program.
Most(all actually) are ridiculously bad at detecting 'spyware'. You always need a separate spyware scanner proggy.
Try malwarebytes.
Also , have a look at what file(s) & where the file was.
