Full Version: McAfee finds trojans associated with Ad-Aware.exe

Today, when I ran Ad-Aware SE my McAfee VirusScan flagged six Trojan viruses attributed to Ad-Aware.exe. These were "deleted" by VirusScan. I then ran a full Virus scan by McAfee VirusScan and no viruses were detected on my computer. When I tried to run Ad-Aware again the same six trogans were again detected and deleted by VirusScan. I tried uninstalling Ad-Aware and downloading a new copy but once again the six trojans showed up when I ran Ad-Aware. mad.gif

Has anyone else had this type of problem? If so, what is the solution?

My VirusScan has the latest definitions and Ad-Aware SE the latest update file.

Thanks, John

smile.gif OK, Corrine I owe you.

I checked out your reference and I then deleted the \TEMP\AAWTMP\ files. When ran AD-Aware SE after that McAfee VirusScan did not find any viruses. Hope the problem is solved.

Thanks!
