« on: December 14, 2012, 03:45:22 PM »
I updated Windows yesterday morning and in the afternoon when I got my scan report it said:
File Name
C:\Windows\Installer\224180f.msi|>Icon._542830EA6FE6_4FFC_94F9_C86E629E90BC.exe

Severity
High

Status
Threat: Win32:Trojan-gen

Result
Error: The operation is not supported for this type of archive. (42111)

What should I do?

No!  It's gone! :)  Thanks for your help.  This started yesterday afternoon when I did a quick scan and was told it moved a file from the same folder to quarantine.  Just to make sure I got everything I did a full scan and that's when the message I posted came up.  I did a boot time scan and the same message came up.  Because I rebooted once, I didn't think rebooting again would have made a difference, but apparently it did. 

So now I need to ask because this was a Trojan,  do I need to change all of my bank passwords and so forth?  I haven't done any transactions in the past few days, so the only passwords I used are on sites like this.  What do you think?
