Hi,
In addition to using Ad-Aware Pro, I run a freeware version of AVG Antispyware once a week. It is finding Downloader.Zlob, but Ad-Aware does not see it. First noticed this on May 4. I waited for the new Ad-Aware definitions that came out May 7 to scan again with Ad-Aware, but Ad-Aware still does not see it. Norton AV and Windows Defender don't see it either.
The offending file and location is C:\WINDOWS\system32\ms98cab/PMUninst.exe
Below is the HiJackThis log. Do you think this is a false positive or a real threat?
Thanks for your help
