? re: item found when scanning PC
« on: September 10, 2008, 03:48:34 AM »
I just finished a complete scan on my PC and all was ok except the following info appeared:

D:I386\Apps\APPS20448\src\install\ga,es\..\nsis1.bin

This appeared 3 times but was same information.

Is this good or bad - do I need to be concerned about it?

Thanks

To know if a file is a false positive, please submit it to VirusTotal and let us know the result. If it is indeed a false positive, send it in a password protected zip to virus@avast.com. VirusTotal has a file size limit of 10Mb. Please, mention in the body of the message why you think it is a false positive and the password used. Thanks.

Maybe you need to disable Hide protected operating system files and enable View hidden files and folders to manage the file(s).

I'm not sure if this is actually a "file" name.  I already have the view hidden files and folders set to that.

I have done a search for various parts of the above find in the D: drive and it comes up with nothing.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Julea

I'm not sure if this is actually a "file" name.
It is, most probably, inside of an archive file (.zip, .arj, .cab, etc.).
At least check the folder: D:I386\Apps\APPS20448\src\install\ga,es\
Strange is the comma (ga,es)...
