Virus: Trojan horse psw.Generic4.jow - 23rd May 2007 6:54pm
Recently, well just earlier zonealarm did its usual scan and found this "virus" (Trojan horse psw.Generic4.jow) so i started to scan it with spyware Doctor and the same "virus" is detectedagain. So after all that i did a final scan using Avg free an it came up again. I did all that heal and quarantine but not done any more scans to see if it wud be still there.
Toshiba Notebook
So i did a google seach an it sed to be related to a Toshiba Notebook, it seems like its a recent thing that has just pop'd up as i was looking at the dates of the posts from the forums. They were of today (23-05-2007) or few days old.
It seems that it is said to link to the Toshiba Configfree.
Here are the file names: "cfdemo scr" and "A0021835.scr"
It is said that it could be a "false positive" but no one knows so far so is not confirmed.
So if anyone who has a Toshiba Notebook you might receive one of these alert if not then its all good.
Here are the forums that i received the information from:
Link 1
Link 2
If anyone knows what this is tho and knows how it can be fixed please post up
As it is said to be linked to a Toshiba Notebook it probably wont cause a problem as i will quote from one of the forums from the links above.
I believe you that your antivir application shows this alert box but Toshiba designed tools and utilities definitely are not dangerous for the system. Hundred thousands of notebooks contain those files and everything work OK.
