Hi Folks,

Sorry for the slow reply - just got back from a xmas shopping melee with my sweetheart <yikes!>

At this time (19:20 EST) avast is no longer alerting on the file. I tested against the one that I extracted from the virus chest and from a fresh copy obtained from <download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe> . The last alert I received was at 13:58 EST today. MBAM ans SAS have never reacted to it (nor avast until today) for the entire time that I have had it. I originally downloaded the file on 11-03-2010 from bleepingcomputer.com via a recommended link from forums.techguy.org . It has not been modified or changed since that time as far as I can tell.

The scan that picked it up was a regularly scheduled full system scan which I run every 3rd day on my 3 computers. I did not set up the scans to detect PUPS. The alert showed on all 3 computers this morning which is interesting as they do not communicate with each other or share any resources other than the router for internet access.

@DavidR and @polonus, I appreciate all your help and attention!

Many thanks!
