And what is the full path it is located at. It is probably a temp file in your internet folder and it is from a site that you visit often. edit: most likely this site, as it uses software written by ips (hence the prefix) and specifically that file.... which is a java file.

Btrash Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 im using trend micro. and it says its in my temporary internet folder If you are using the newest version of trend micro, and that file is showing as a "generic" virus, it is a false positive. From another forum: I am using the "beta" scan engine for my Trend Micro Internet Security Suite 2008, and on closer inspection the emails from Trend Micro said that false positives are more likely to occur with this beta engine, especially for viruses with the words "POSSIBLE_", "SUSPICIOUS_FILE" or "_GENERIC" in them. That last one totally fits the bill for my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
focalrock4life Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 it is saying generic trojan! so theres really nothing there? well how the hell do I get that pop up to stop popping up!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btrash Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 From the sounds of it, trend micro is using "smart" scanning that trys to detect what the actual file is trying to do so that it can detect viruses that are not yet known by detecting "viruslike" activity. Well some javascript, and other files have "viruslike" activity, but aren't actually viruses. I'm sure as time goes on, trend micro will add known files to not show as being viruses. I am sure that somewhere in your options you can add file exceptions (files that you tell it not to scan) so that it doesn't keep thinking it is a virus.
