    04/18/2009 6:40:07 PM Real-time file system protection file

    C:\Program Files\Azureus\Uninstall.exe Win32/Adware.BHO.AV

    application cleaned by deleting - quarantined

    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

    Event occurred during an attempt to access the file by the application: C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE.


    Is this a false positive ? It's showing in 2 different computers.

    Azureus is known to bundle adware, so I highly doubt it's a FP.

    Normally I would agree, but checking my ERA logs this morning shows the same type of Win32/Adware.BHO.AV application warnings on several uninstall.exe files that include:

    Xobni
    Google Talk
    FileZilla

    Hello,

    A false positive alarm of the Win32/Adware.BHO.AV was recently fixed in a virus signature database update.

    Can you please re-scan the system(s) in question and report back if the threat is identified?

    Regards,

    Aryeh Goretsky

    A regular scan didn't detect it then and it doesn't detect it now.

    Real time file system protection detected it.
