On Wednesday my Anti-Virus pgm presented me with a warning
of possible infection of a trojan called W32:Bifrose-aa. This in
regard to a small sound/music conversion pgm that I had for only
a week.
I Googled for the characteristics of this trojan and checked
out my computer from end to end and found NO trace of
identifiable evidence of infection. I waited to see if the next
AV update would rectify the situation.
After Thursday's daily update of the AV database the AV
alarms didn't wail and urge me to commit seppuku or other such
drastic action. Evidently there had been an error in the
database.
I am using Avast and it has served me well. Have other users
experienced false positives very often? If so, what action do
you take or is this just one of those events that makes life
interesting?
