I'm wondering if this is a false positive?

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB951978$\wscript.exe: Trojan.Autorun-292 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\wscript.exe: Trojan.Autorun-292 FOUND

I uploaded it to https://virusscan.jotti.org/ and ClamWin is the only one that turned this up. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Regards,

David

The way to handle a false positive is to submit it to Clam via their normal virus submission page at https://www.clamav.net/sendvirus/ on the web. When you go to the submission form, be sure to indicate that the file is a false positive and tell them the name of the virus that Clam falsely identifies. You can also make any additional comments you want. They will adjust their signature within a day or so, and ClamWin will also get the change.

c:\windows\$ntuninstallkb951978$\wscript.exe: trojan.autorun-292 found
