Got a strange message from AntiVIR

Hi Jim, have you installed this app to convert music files http://www.digital-ear.com/digital-ear/index.asp at all?


If so its quite possible that an updated virus data file has flagged this as a false positive, have a look in your Add/Remove listings for Digital Ear to see if its there.


But if you wish to double check, then please run the below guide,

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:

Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

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.


​

• When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
  • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
  • Bitdefender - from step 6
  • Panda Scan - from step 6
  • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
  • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
  • HijackThis

NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

 

Hi Jim, thats the best option in deleting it, I would also have all files un-hidden and just have a search for any other digital ear files, then run CCLeaner and both file and registry cleaner components to mop up any junk, then do a quick set of scans again to see if that file or any other are highlighted.

Can only summise that that folder and component was added by another application that may use Digital Ears technology... but that depends on if you have ever installed any music comversion software. Just seems a weird place for a a folder that would normally be in Program Files.
