Virus From Panda Active Scan???

i decided to visit Pandasoftware.com to do the Panda Active Scan to check my pc... in the process of setting up Active Scan with Internet Explorer... i got a message from Internet Explorer SP2 asking me to allow an Active X cab file so that Panda Active scan would work... upon doing that, Avast Antivirus hit me with this virus message...

not sure what's going on here:

getting a mini anxiety attack here =]

i'm guessing Avast's active scanner saw the phrase of the virus/worm name and determined it was a threat? If this is the case, would i just have to disable Avast's Web Shield to stop it from detecting this while i'm running the Panda Active Scan?

 

thanks for replying Chas..

(that's all the false positives that Avast finds with Panda)


on a side note, Panda found 2 pieces of Adware and did not (or could not) disinfect...


Incident Status Location

Adware:Adware/MemoryWatcher No disinfected Windows Registry
Adware:Adware/DelFinMedia No disinfected C:\keys.ini


i'm experiencing no ill effects on my PC... I've got SpywareBlaster, Adaware, Spybot all installed and updated... I also recently ran a scan with Webroot's spysweeper... any idea on how I could eliminate these 2 pieces of Adware??? Thanks....

 

i looked up DelFin Media on Pest Patrol, and was unable to find any of the registry entries they list in the manual removal process...

The Pest Patrol links for the Memory Watcher program do not work (Page Not Found)

i don't see any unusual processes in my Task Manager, and again, no ill effects on my PC... but knowing that these 2 pieces of Adware are on my comp, i'd like to try to remove them...

 

no key for Memory Watcher...


the keys.ini file related to DelFin Media is a hidden file on my C drive, and opening up with notepad produces this jargon:

} éÆŸ*XQ—G¶‡1©ÓŠ2m75q75

to my knowledge it is not used for any other program (i don't run a whole lot on my pc)...
