Hi Folks,

I just installed SP1 for W7 and now it's saying I have a virus.
Quote
Original file name:   mscorlib.dll
Original folder:   c:\windows\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_32\Temp\ZAP9EFD.tmp
Original size of file:   11490304
Last Modification Time:   3/1/2011 8:19:57 PM
Time of transfer to Chest:   3/1/2011 1:19:58 PM
Category:      Infected files
Virus Decsription:   Win32:Spyeye-BG[Trj]
File ID:      18

It's annoying because the "Trojan Horse Blocked" message is spamming my desktop every few minutes. It says no further action is required but just keeps popping up!

Any thoughts?

I get the exact same thing, I have installed SP1 on my work PC that is protected by Sophos and it went fine, used the same DVD to install, so it must be false..or the infection is only showing since sp1 update (if its real)..

Hi

Have the same problem after installation of Service Pack 1 today.
I was able to fill the form. The information will be uploaded with the next virus definition update.
I put the link to this thread as additional information.
But I do not feel well to suppress the message :o. Is it really not an infected file downloaded from Microsoft? ???

Best regards
Paul

Well, I am not NOT going to install SP1 on another PC I have. Else I might have another PC having issue's in the end.

(Guess I will come back to the forum to see if it has been resolved or I might even read about it in the news... www.h-online.com might report it. They did so with other false possitive in the past too of other anti-virus vendors.)

Here is what you can do for now. Press the "PIN" on the top right next to the X on the warning dialog box. That at least will keep it from popping up every 30 seconds, but it will remain there. So you have to judge for yourself which is more annoying.

Then all we can do now is wait for definition updates. =p

Hi

I pressed the x pin on the top left of the window and it was closed.
But a new message is displayed just after ~2 minutes.
But I could temporary stop the message permanently: I stopped the service named "Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86".
This was consuming my CPU very much because of the high avast activity caused by the messages above.
Now the CPU load is down and the messages disappears. But with the next machine start the service will start again automatically. Not sure if I should disable the service complete.

Kind regards
Paul

I have the same file in the same location but with no continuous popups.

I installed SP1 days ago bu this morning was the first time that the warning appeared.

Maybe Avast update & ignore it?

Cheers :)
