Trend Micro Office Scan recognizes ad-aware.mis as a trojan

[swest 0]

Hi, I just tried installing the free version of Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, but as soon as I run the installation file I get an alert from my antivirus programme, Trend Micro Office Scan, that the ad-aware.msi file (located in a temp directory) is a trojan (to be specific: troj_dloader.bmc). Is the file truly infected or could it be a false positive? Please let me know! Tnx in advance.

I made a mistake in the title of this topic: off course I mean the file: ad-aware.msi instead of .mis ;-)

Hi swest,

If you downloaded the file from lavasoft.com, download.cnet.com, softpedia.com or tucows.com the file is hardly infected and you should report this to Trend Micro as a false positive so they can fix the error.

Hi Cecilia,

Tnx for answering! I downloaded the file from lavasoft.com, so it's definitely most likely a false positive, like you say. I will inform Trend Micro about it.

Wish you nice holidays!
