   My F-Prot AV tells me I have the W32/hacktoolx.jy infection and it is sending CMDOW.EXE from C:\windows\system32 to its quarantine bucket. However, this happens over and over for however many scans I run.
   
   My question is, is having this W32/hacktoolx.jy a serious problem that I need to address somehow? If so, please point me to where to begin.
   
   Thanks very much,
   Bartolo

   It may not be a problem at all if you installed it. Did you install the program reference in the below:
