    Today while I was trying to play games on pogo and flashgames on other escape-game websites my antivirus kept warning me of a threat. Trojan horse exploit.swf_c.aps
    I don't know why this keeps happening. I ran all the scans and I need expert assistance. Thank you, in advance.

    Update: I just found out that AVG staffers are claiming that it is a false positive and that I need to update AVG in order to fix this false positive detection. Still I would like to be on the safe side. Adlice informed me that it is safe to remove the PUMs that it detected, as they are not critical policies, so I am going to do that. Further analysis is welcome.

    Not necessary to fix those entries with RogueKiller.

    Not finding any malware in those logs ;)

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    I had a feeling that the logs would be clean. Thank you so much for looking through them.
