I got a warning from PC-cillin that I’ve got a trojan horse called TROJ_GENERIC.ADV.
From a Google search on the malware, this may be a false positive from running an out-of-date PC-cillin. Checking PC-cillin itself, I got two rather inconsistent pieces of advice:
- Update PC-cillin. Tried to do that, was told PC-cillin is up to date.
- Download a fix. I did that as well… when it was extracted and executed, I was told that I needed to download a pattern file. But I wasn’t told where to get this pattern file.
So, neither of these courses of action are helping me eliminate this (alleged?) malware.
Any suggestions?
Also, PC-cillin only tells me that TROJ_GENERIC.ADV is mostly harmless. Like what HHGTG says about a certain planet, this is not terribly farking informative. Anybody know more about what this thing’s gonna do? If I do indeed have this thing, and if I really can’t get rid of it, I’d at least want to know what it’s doing…
