Hi all,

Is this file a virus/trojan:

C:\Programme\Common Files\{384F6FFD-0AE9-1031-0721-030624030031}\Update.exe

Thanks,
Ivan

Ivan,

a) Unless you mis-copied or mis-typed the actual folder name, that is not a normally expected folder name .
b) One cannot judge if it is or is not a virus/trojan/ or malware. But, let's say it is suspecious.
c) Run an antivirus scan with your updated antivirus program.
d) Run an online check at Kaspersky online website and have it do a full scan.
Close all your open programs. Temporarily disable your antivirus program.

Using your Internet Explorer, visit Kaspersky website and run the free Kaspersky Anti-Virus Online Virus Scanner
http://usa.kaspersky.com/services/free-virus-scanner.php

Scan the system at Kaspersky.
The Kaspersky scanner will detect everything if you use extended settings as described here :

Make sure you save the results from the scan. *** do not post the log here, but rather at an outside forum, like aumha.net

Re-activate your AV program.

d) Run more checks to see if you have other malware.

As expected ! Make sure you do another Kaspersky check, as well as other tools to check for malware.
