I did a complete scan of my computer yesterday and Avast found a trojan horse in pagefile.sys (image of message attached). When I clicked on “move to chest” I received a message saying that I had insufficient HD space to do this.
I then downloaded Kaspersky’s online scanner, and scanned pagefile.sys. Kaspersky said “no malware found”
Could this be a false positive? Google gives quite a lot of references to pagefile.sys, most of them concerning Avast.
Add this to the Program Settings, Exclusions, Add and enter ?:\pagefile.sys, the ? is a single character wildcard so the ?:\pagefile.sys would exclude the pagefile.sys file no matter what drive/partition it was in.
