Hm, then I don't see anything wrong with the file itself, what antivirus program are you running?

Webroot is famous for giving a TON of false positives, however, I suggest you scan your computer with a great tool called, Malware Bytes Anti Malware just to be safe, Link: http://www.filehippo...s_anti_malware/

As far as anti viruses go, I suggest if you want a free product, use something such as avast!, Micro soft security essentials, AVG (Kinda has gone down hill since 09, even in my testings, its not so great, but it DOES work) Theres a ton, Ask for more if you want, I suggest you download from a trusted link, JAM.

@GTARescue1, AVG, Even in other peoples testings and mine is a safe environment such as a VM, and a closed enviorment, AVG, has gone down hill, Norton certainly has gotten better since earlier versions (such as 08, my god what a disaster), But you still have to purchase it (I suggest Norton Internet security, Simple, and it works great), Kaspersky works great as well, But beware, It can some what be a system hog.

PS: as many ppl have said, Make sure your downloading from a SAFE link for ELS.

I used to use AVG for several years, but I changed to Microsoft security essentials and I am pleased with the results. It don't use a ton of resources either.

Way back I had Norton when the choices were very limited but found it freaked out at the slightest thing. Tried a free year long trial of Kaspersky too and thought it was pretty good but also tended to be a bit over protective. And once the trial ran out, well what can I say...MS security essentials is free :)

As far as ELS V6 download goes as long as it's genuine the product is ok. The link in this site was ok when I used it.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a wonder full product and I download it on all my clients computers if they want a free product, I will agree, I use Kaspersky, And it can be a bit over protective, But ive always like it that way.

I also M$ Security Essentials and its a wonderful product from microsoft, it detects almost all threats, does not give false positives that much, is not resource intensive like other AV's and its free..!!!

Really good work from M$..!!!

Lol I'm guessing aparna has used the dollar sign on MS on purpose as Microsoft is rolling in money and Billy boy is one of the wealthiest people on the planet.

In fact just as R* caught on for Rockstar I think I am going to use M$ from now on when talking about Microsoft :) Seems to fit their image well.

Uhm, SAS is a tool, Not a Antivirus, It is not an on acsess scanner, You run it, it scans, Its done, pro im pretty sure does on accses scanning like Malware bytes PRO, however, It does not completley protect the system, Its advised to use a AV along side the tools, I also use SAS For clients, however, Just to scan and remove a few stubborn adwares and keyloggers, Other than that, It wont activley protect the system, After im done I hook them up with a Good av, Depending on whether they want to pay or not, If not, MSE, IF yes, It depends ont he system due to some beign resource hogs.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. If the client is receiving symptoms commonly caused by viruses but nothing comes up in other antivirus i would use it just to be sure. Then to actively protect the system i would install security essentials or equivalent.

i have got SAS pro, though I don't use that alongside any other Antivirus as a while back I went to a mates house who thought it was a good idea to have 4 antivirus packages all at once. All four subsequently ended up tearing each other apart lol

Cheers,

Tom

As to your first part, I agree and its exactly what I do, i thought you meant as SAS as a active product as an alternitive to MSE for protection, when it doesent even have on acsess scanning, no worries for the misunderstanding.

As to your second part, how do you like Sas pro? And yeah, Its Nice to have a fortress around your computer, But four anti Virusess, is just crazy, Itll cause more problems then a stubborn Root kit lol,

Side note; My setup: Kaspersky internet Security 2012, Working alongside with malware bytes PRO, as well as a few on demand scanners to use every now and again, Such as SAS, Gmer, Hijack this, Etc.
