a few things to various posters
yes i uninstalled avast before installing kaspersky trial..
i already know that sp2 is not supported my microsoft and the fact that they dont support it is not relavant imo.
what the issue is for me is its either a virus/trojan or its a false positive.. this what i need to know. and how to get rid of it if it is a virus/trojan.
what would be interesting to know is if other people are using windows xp sp2 and avast does report as a trojan if you run cmd.exe and do a memory scan but not if just scan cmd.exe?
