    What trojan?
    Update: According to the makers of Avira Antivirus, the program that originally detected this "virus," this was indeed a case of a false-positive and the latest version of the software no longer makes the detection. Still, it is a good idea to keep some sort of AV running in the background. Better safe than sorry!
    Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street- cleansing, fruit-picking and subway-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact.

    Yeah I found out it was a false positive a few minutes after I posted that and forgot to edit my post.

    This won't be removed until the Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl.

    Best to verify the game cache to make sure nothing was corrupted.

    Re: [Rumour] IWNet being used to distribute viruses

    I've had two virus attempts on my pc via iwnet the last day or so.

    Avira caught them.

    You would think people would know that a decent firewall is a must when going online for anything.

    Sure they are real and not FPs? Wasn't Avira to blame for the FPs and this rumor?

    If there is a file on your PC it found, upload it to virustotal and see what other AVs have to say.
