Hello,

I updated Avg AntiSpyware today and ran a scan,
and it shows a trojan detected.

+ Created at: 8:05:11 AM 1/10/2008

+ Scan result:


C:\Windows\System32\openports.dll -> Trojan.Agent : No action taken.

The file in question I uploaded to Jotti's says it was scanned before and
came back as clean with nothing detected.

This is on a Vista computer and in using google some reference
is made to this openports.dll as belonging to Windows Defender.

Regards,

Wake

Please ignore the current detection of this file (means: do not delete or move it to quarantine), but send us a copy of this detected openports.dll:

We will check this file and if it is really a false-positive, it will be fixed with the next Signature Update.
