Hi,
I got these results after scanning:
C:\Program Files\LeechGet 2005\DownloadManager.dll: Trojan.Spy.W32.KeySpy-3 FOUND

C:\Program Files\LeechGet 2005\LeechGet.exe: Trojan.Spy.W32.KeySpy-3 FOUND

C:\Program Files\Network Associates\McAfeeAvertStinger3020\stinst32.exe: Trojan.Agent-18 FOUND

Are these false positives?
BTW, I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong category.
Take care,
Jamie

This doesn't appear to be a false positive. A Google search on the ClamWin name for the malware turned up the information below. Looks like you also ran the McAfee Stinger, which probably removed the malware. Usually, if more than one antivirus programs find something, it's not a false positive. Unfortunately, they don't all use the same naming system, so the same piece of malware can have many names.

If you have ClamWin configured to quarantine malware it finds, look in the ClamWin quarantine directory and delete anything there. The default quarantine for Win XP machines is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\.clamwin\quarantine. The ClamWin configuration page will tell you for sure where the quarantine folder is located.

Run ClamWin frequently, and keep it updated!

Often some download managers are "bundled" with spyware,
the stinger may have some sig inside, but it's not installable so it looks strange to be there
