Hi,

I recently installed AE. A couple days ago I picked up something on one of my computers after a full scan of both computers. Today, the other machine reported the same worm... see below. Is this a common fp? I have had no problems w/ either machine & no other AV/AS picked up anything. Thanks.

So...was the worm that AdAware detected which I reported in this thread a false positive... yes or no? smile.gif Not trying to be difficult, just looking for a clear yes or no answer. Thanks again!
