My wive's step father may have opened something he should not have...sigh and although there are no obvious symptoms when he runs the online scan at security.symantec it reports There is a Trojan Horse.
C:\Program files\notebook maximizer\maximizer_startup.exe
is infected
with downloader.
he has PCcillin on his system and it did apparently quarantine 3 files that he deleted before he talked to me and he has no idea what they were and PCcillin now reports no problem found.
I am planing on having him run another scan with the F-Secure online scanner and the usual spyware scans. Is there a chance that a virus has infected this app. (it appears to be a power management app from Toshiba) or is there a chance it is a false positive?
Working with this is a little more difficult that usual for me as he is 300 miles away and VERY computer illiterate.
