sfx hack tool

hi all, everytime that i run my NAV it yields a result that says that there is one file that is of risk. it is calles a 'zip.sfx hacktool.hide window'. i have searched ggole, this site and symantec itself but there is no answer. my virus definition is nearly update, there is WMI update that will not install, i dont know if this will be of any use as the NAV already detects soemthing there. but the problem is that it always sais that the delete has failed. i dont kno why, the system backup is not activated, and i am trying it in safe mode too.
does any body have any ideas what i can do.
any help is appreciated and welcome.
thanks

 

I'm having the same problem and have searched for a solution for the past few hours. Any case the same as this always seemed to have fell after the 24th and it was detected by Nortan Antivirus and no other antiviruses. I think it's probably some mistake in the definitions but obviously I don't want to take that risk.

The file zip.sfx in my scan is assosiated with winrar330 which I downloaded months ago and it was straight off of winrar's site. It's kind of strange but my free trial for it expired long ago but yet I'm still able to use it without using any err questionable methods. Somehow I doubt it's the winrar peoples extracting revenge on me.

I'm not exactly the best at dealing with these kind of situations as I rarely find myself with any kind of threat to my computer so I'm kind of in a panic as to what this could do to my system.

A scan with Spybot revealed nothing, Ad-Aware gave me the usual few IECache data miner things which I seem to always have even though I never use IE (that's a question for another day though). A few topics on this in other places directed me to Hijackthis which I'm a total newbie with since as I mentioned before I never encounter situations such as this. So if anyone could tell me exactly how to use it and what to post here to help in my problem I'd appreciate it (I didn't see anything on hijackthis in the read me first post).

Also the Trend Micro scan gave me nothing.

 

Virus total detected nothing

I think I'll do all the scans and tips from the Read this first post one more time and officially call this a false report thank you for your time.

 

There doesn't appear to be any zip.sfx on my computer but when I did the Nortan scan I believe when I moused over the name it gave me a location that pointed to wrar330.exe. Anyways I've done so many scans with so many other antivirus tools and such that I'm certain that it's just a false alarm.

Thanks for your help
