Got this during a scan of my computer:

infected: object C:\hp\bin\python-2.2.3.exe:\comparisons.html

result: trojan horse PHP/MPack.B

status: infected embedded object

inefected: object C:\hp\bin\python-2.2.3.exe

What can/should I do about this?

Thanks for your help.

Mine says Comparisons.HTML PHP/MPACKB

The way I see it http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/
that is a false positive perhaps for this is a dev application.

but then again run as scan with other AV for 2nd and 3 part opinion about
your case just so to make sure.

Mine says 2.2.1exe I ran my AVG spyware and it found nothing, yet I
scanned again with AVG AV and it says the same thing, I am totally confused.
Should I also run the safety.live thing, and if so, do I just click on the
full scan? Sorry but never used it before. Thanks for any help.

I just read on the AVG forum, many folks have gotten this threat today, it
is a false positive. To clear it, update your virus definitions and then run
another scan. The new update is suppose to fix it. I did an update, then
another scan, and it finally came back clean. Seems it isn't going in
people's virus vaults.

Hope this helps........:-)
