    Trojan or OK?

    Hope someone can help here - Got a new comp yesterday which is a compaq/HP

    Any way AVG is picking up one of the hp bin files as a trojan - Comodo is picking it up as a trojan also

    File is called setsupport.exe and looking around on the net cant find much but one french page i found (and google translated) seems to say its not a trojan and that its a false positive...

    Its currently quarrantined but i can restore it if needed ?

    So do i leave it quarrantined?

    Thanks

    Edited to add: Ran the rescue disk creation earlier (while it was in quarrantine and it seemed to jam up a bit at the start until i moved it out nd then it seemed to work) but its since back in cause cuse of AVG and big threat detected messages...

    Good to hear they responded to you.
    I wouldn't expect it will be a high priority for them, but you have some peace of mind now.

    was all fixed and updated by this morning so they did it fast which was good - I gather reporting a major computer suppliers software was a trojan wouldnt look good for them?
