Hi,

I’m using XP-SP3 with Ad-Aware free 9.0.2 (updated today) and it just found the malware Trojan.Win32.Generic.pak!cobra in
c:\programme\acd systems\acdsee\acdsee.exe
c:\dokumente und einstellungen\jens\anwendungsdaten\microsoft\installer\{24561814-4815-4387-ac59-05ddec5af013}\arpproducticon.exe
c:\system volume information\_restore{45eae84d-b427-416b-9f95-b489f266fdad}\rp240\a0135071.exe
c:\system volume information\_restore{45eae84d-b427-416b-9f95-b489f266fdad}\rp247\a0135566.exe

Other anti-malware software like Avira Antivir Personal free, Antivir DE Cleaner and Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (all with latest releases and updated today) didn’t’ find any suspicious items.

After de-installing completely the ACDSee software and installing it again the virus came up again. Now all detected files are in quarantine folder.

Please advise if the detected malware is really there or if it is a False Positive.

Enclosed you can find the log files and the zipped quarantine files. Please tell me if you need anything else.

Thanks a lot for your assistance.
