583785 2007-08-22 09:55:00 Somehow I picked up the above trojan horse,actually 38 instances of it!

AVG found them and put them in the virus vault.

My question is, should I now delete these files, or should I just leave them in the vault. AVG talks about healing them at a later date, but from what I read they cannot be healed. So yeah... what to do?

583786 2007-08-22 09:58:00 According to this site (forums.whirlpool.net.au)

It could be a false positive.

583787 2007-08-22 10:11:00 hey thanks Speedy, man U live up to the name, Speedy it is.

OK read the site U pointed to and it sure looks like they are all false. OK, don't want them hanging round, so out they go. Thanks.

583789 2007-08-22 10:47:00 Interesting. My AVG has just popped up saying I had a trojan called Generic6.ums Sam's Dad (11848)
583790 2007-08-22 19:31:00 Thats really odd. I "picked up" my generic6.umu on a vista laptop that at this stage only goes online to search for updates to Vista. So the odds for both of us getting the same one almost at the same time must be rather large.

Anyway I will delete my generic.umu's today!

583791 2007-08-23 01:04:00 From what I've seen its only AVG thats detecting it as a bug ? wainuitech (129)
583792 2007-08-23 03:28:00 Ah, the plot thickens - yeah AVG in my case. But I've used AVG for many years now and never had this before.

Anyway... my "collection" of 38 Trojen Horse generic6.umu have been banished forever.

583793 2007-08-23 10:14:00 How many of you are installing the Bioshock demo or the full game itself. I do not mean the one downloaded from STEAM either. It picks it up in the setup.exe file.

I had this exact problem. But I updated AVG and it is gone.

I think it might be to do with Securom from what I've read.

583794 2007-08-23 22:56:00 Had 3 people call yesterday with this problem. I just told them to be thankful AVG doesn't detect system files as viruses like nortons does, otherwise they would have a bit more on their hands. Does anyone know exactly what it was AVG was supposedly detecting? wratterus (105)
