    Hello,

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

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    AVG Anti-Spyware - Scan Report
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    + 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:
    http://www.ewido.net/en/malware/
    We will check this file and if it is really a false-positive, it will be fixed with the next Signature Update.

    It was a false positive, but we have fixed with the last Signature Update.
    So please update your AVG Anti-Spyware.
