win32 malware-gen wkpdfsnf.exe

[system]

Help please! Rather worried as my new old computer came up with avast alert that wkpdfsnf.exe in MSworks is win32 malware gen! I’m hoping this is a false positive, nothing shown on superantispyware or malwarebytes. It’s put in the virus chest but I’m concerned what it is and how it got on computer! I run firefox with noscript and am super vigilent re the computer I think!

HI,

I have the same problem, I think this is a “wrong positive”. Could somebody confirm ?
Thanks
