Malware?

[ez101]

Hi, I was running a scan and several items such as this came up as security threats & were removed.

\Local\Temp\buddyupdater2008700.exe (Trojan.MSIL)

Can you tell me what may have created these items and is there a way for me to prevent it from happening again?

Obviously, I am looking for answers about the possibility that profiles or plugins may be causing this and if there's a way to find out which ones.

Hey man as Tony said, it's nothing to worry about.
There are quite a few things that may show up as trojans but they aren't.

The reason behind this is that a trojan virus is a program within a program and so are many other applications which aren't actually trojans but AFAIK the antivirus can't distinguish between the real trojans and the false as it only knows that there's a program inside but doesn't know what type.

Sounds a bit confusing lol but that's why something safe can sometimes come up as a threat

Hope that helps!
