    I've run a routine check of the system and Kaspersky has identified possible malware.

    Can someone please help me?

    I did download and have not used in a months, it never showed on previous Kaspersky logs though, I thought it may have been recently infected.

    I shouldn't worry about it then?

    An update to Kaspersky may have changed what they report.


    I shouldn't worry about it then?[/quote] No! The log from Kaspersky even stated that it was "not-a-virus". These kind of messages occur for many types of programs. It is the nature of the program that the scanner is bringing to your attention just incase you did not install it. P2P and torrent downloaders and remote access programs can also trigger warning flags like this.
