    Running Emsisoft Emergency Kit on a brand new W7 install on my HP Laptop, and Emsisoft says:

    "Trace.Registry.dl.tvunetworks.com!A2"

    It showed up in a scan with 4 registry entry's.

    Is this a false positive and how can I be sure?

    Cheers.

    With antiviruses you are never sure about those things, that's why the best thing is not to use them at all ;)

    How can you be sure it's a FP? It's a brand new W7 install.
