Does anyone know what the following file is?

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL Downloads\triton_suite_install\6.1.41.2\setup.exe

Because my Eset anti virus picked it up as a threat "probably a variant of win32/agent trojan". It's been cleaned by deleting, and put in quarantine.

I'm wondering if this is truly a virus or a false positive.

Seems to be the AOL AIM Instant Messenger program.

from wikipedia

The successor to AIM version 5.9 was originally named AIM Triton. Compared with version 5.9, Triton's programming code was rewritten and featured a brand new UI engine called Boxely. The first beta version of Triton (0.1.12) supported only Windows XP[4] upon its release. For the first time in the development of a new version of AIM, these preliminary versions were made publicly available on the AIM home page for any user to test and provide feedback.

On September 29, 2006, Triton was renamed to AIM 6.0 and a new beta version was made available

so it appears that triton is an old version of AIM. If you haven't installed this, or if this is just recently, it might be malware?

try running the malware steps to see what it finds.
