Win32:Spyware-gen

Viruses and worms

Nothing of concern in the earlier SAS log, tracking cookies no real issue and the second as you said it clear.

I would say that the other file is unrelated (other than it is from akamai), if a problem it should also have been picked up by avast, but the single hit on the VT results, suspicious, usually implies some sort of heuristic/generic detection rather than a specific signature. Add to that the detection is from eSafe I would say that there is nothing to be worried about with this file.

If you do get a replacement rswin_3586.dll file then avast will most likely alert again (possibly by the Web Shield before it gets on your system) by the Standard Shield, send it to the chest first and then do the drill to upload to VT and report.

David,

Thanks for the follow-up and advice on the rswin_3586.dll file. I will post it to the chest and check it out via VT.
I appreciate all the help.
ta,

No problem, come back to this topic (bookmark it) if you need more help. If as I said it turns out to be a false positive you will need information on how to submit it to avast for correction and what to do whilst that happens, etc.
