TROJ_Generic.Adv Help!!

[paulavac]

Hi,

I have Trend Micro Internet Security and it keeps telling me that I have a
"TROJ_Generic.Adv" risk and that I need to go to the Microsoft Web Site to
get the updates needed to repair these vulnerabilities, but whenever I go to
the Microsoft Web Site, it says there are no new updates, so I haven't been
able to get rid of this risk. Can someone help me???

Trend Micro may be reporting a false positive; what does it say on their own
website about this alleged vulnerability? You may want to ask for customer
support if you are a paying customer.
