sbautoupdate.exe Virus Infection

Last night my virus scanner (McAfee) found that this file was infected (the only infected file) on all machines which have Spyware Blaster 3.1 installed. The file was automatically deleted. I do all updating manually so that should not be a problem, but ...

Is anyone else experiencing similar activity. I have no idea how this infection got thru my defenses.

Why would this file be targeted?

TIA!

Hi,
It's a false positive. Hasn't McAfee fixed that yet?

It may be a false positive because it hit both my systems this morning. I just got finished going throught them with a fine tooth comb. But McaFee had an update last night,I know this because I had to reboot both systems at that time. That would make sense I hope! But I can't find anything on my systems related to that Virus period.

 

This was a false/positive, and McAfee has fixed it with their last dat update.
