Is anyone else getting a report of a virus in their marcromed flash folder? I am getting it on two systems. I suspect it is a false positive, but I want to know for certain. I also use spybot on both units and it is not detecting anything.

also found this report. whether related or not, found on a system with major problems with access to windows programs. cant open explorer, internet explorer, control panel etc. winini.dll class not found among messages thrown at me on logon. it has also disabled McAfee which is why im running a portable version of clamwin from a USB stick..

I'm getting this report as well, from two machines that are exhibiting no signs of problems. Among the files being detected are Flash installers that had been downloaded directly from Adobe months ago.

Virustotal has this to say about it:

Strong evidence of a false positive.

I had the same false positive detection a few hours ago, but it appears to be corrected now.
