My Windows 7 laptop just gave me an Action Center alert that I was infected with Win32/Small.CA and that I should run a virus scan program (Avast) to delete it. Ran Avast scan and no virus found. I Tried to run MBAM and when I did the update before the run Avast alerted to a virus in MBAM setup. it said it (MBAM setup) was infected with Win32:trojan-gen and moved it to the chest.
I am running the old (not updated) version of MBAM right now on a full scan but while it was running I thought I would post to see if this is a real problem or a false thing.
Thanks. When MBAM finishes I will attach all my logs.
UPDATE 1 - added MBAM log
UPDATE 2 - added Aswmbr log
UPDATE 3 - Added OTL Files

This was a FP and has been fixed.
Please update your VPS.

Windows Defender is enabled and updated. I dont think I have any problems but the message bothers me. I updated MBAM successfully and found no problems. Why did that message pop up all of a sudden ?

No clue. I don't use Windows Defender.
Can you perform a manual scan with Windows Defender, and if it detects, will it produce the file location?
If it does not detect this time, it could be a false positive on microsoft's case.

I did the manual scan with Windows Defender..... nothing found. (3 hours)
Time to forget about it ? Did the logs show any problems ?
Thanks
