Hello,
I run Ad Aware SE, Spybot Search / Destroy, as well as McAfee Security Center. I ran my Ad Aware like I usually do to do a full scan and see if it can find anything I was missing regarding adware, etc. I must preface this by saying my computer has been running perfectly for a long time, so I was not running this scan to fix anything, only as a precaution. AD Aware came back saying that it found a Zlob trojan and identified the file as the Gateway Games / Gateway Games Console file? I'm confused, is this really a trojan? I quarantined and removed anyways, and I ran full scans with the other programs and had no problems. I haven't been getting the zlob symptoms such as pop ups and fake virus alerts or fake programs. Has anyone else run into this, I'm just a bit confused any insight would be great!

Hi Porchpot!
Would it be possible for you to post the Ad-Aware logfile from the scan from where the file was detected?
A guide for posting false positive notifications is available at, http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=18033
