    Uh, yeah, so I just booted up my computer today and was waiting for all my apps and such to load when I got a alert that Trojan horse SHeur.CIE was detected in the exe of a game on my harddrive. Now, the thing is, I've had this game installed for months and haven't played it for the longest time.. The exe is called vampire.exe and it was just a small roleplaying game put out by activision.. The reason I'm posting this here is because I did a full system scan with avg (newest updates), and have run an adaware se (fully updated) scan... and It still hasn't found anything... I googled the virus name as it appears in my "virus vault" and google turns up with no results whatsoever its only after I take off the CIE at the end where it comes up with results for, what I'm guessing are a few different variants of it..

    Currently it says its backed up and still infected, and wasn't able to heal it... I'm about to put it into safemode and do a scan after this and see if it finds anything there.. Everything seems to be normal however. I can still access regedit, taskmanager, etc... It just seems 100% random that a virus would show up there... Do you think this could be a false positive?

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.​

      • CounterSpy
