Tim Rogers

AVG Free 8.0 Resident Shield came up with PCANDIS5.sys as trojan Horse last
night.

Have put it in the Virus fault but can't seem to find anything about this
file?

So Trojan or False Positive?????

You are the second persond I have seen report this. I don't know if this
is a FP or not.
A sample would help.

Doing a full AVG scan and it's appeared in the restore files as well.

How would I send you a sample?????

I updated AVG 8 from v1522 to 1523 and then restored the file, then scanned
the file and it came up with nothing.

Am now scanning the whole computer again to see if anything crops up........

Does seem to be a false positive???????
