This seems to be a virus found by ZoneAlarm (which can treat it the “Documenys and settings…” but not in “c:\WINDOWS\System32\TCPService2.exe”, where it appears only when I use my wireless Netgear USB connection to the Linksys router and DSL modem), BUT NOT FOUND BY AVAST! version 4?6 home edition.
Is there an explanation? And a solution?
This would appear to be Adware.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: Jotti - Multi engine on-line virus scanner if any other scanners here detect them it is less likely to be a false positive.
If other AV scanners pick it up as a virus, then you could send the file to avast (if it isn’t too large).
If you believe this is an undetectd virus, then if you can zip and password protect (‘virus’, will do) the suspect file and send it to virus @ avast.com (no spaces).
Give a brief outline of the problem, the fact that you believe it to be a new virus and include the password in the body of the email. Some info on the avast version and VPS number (see about avast {right click avast icon}) will also help.
Also see this link - http://sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/pf/adware.admess.html as this will give some background.
If you haven’t already got this software, download, install, update and run it.
