BIG PROBLEM!
as I am getting the active scan set up on my pc an alert flashed my screen- from my on access scanner
"A VIRUS WAS FOUND!
http://acs.pandasoftware.com/activescan/cabs/as2guiie.cabpskavs.dll Win32:CTX Virus/Worm
080606-0, 06-06-2008"
It tells me to abort the connection. Now I can't get this pc scanned as planned. What Now?
This is a known false-positive from your installed antivirus scanner. Your scanner is detecting one of our signatures which is located in one of the engine libraries instead of our signature database. Try running it again and choose “ignore” or “exclude” from your scanner options. We’ll migrate this signature to the database in the next release.
I can’t find the recent rootkit test on AV-
Test.org
please post a link
thanks
