Virus help - false positive, or deep sh**?
by MarkyDMan Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:46 am
Well, I ran Kaspersky today and got 4 trojans -_-
They're all in the Java cache, called peternova.class and glocker.class
I have no idea how I have got them, as I've never not had an AV program, but they're there. Two were deleted, but 2 remain.
Is this something anyone knows about as being a false-positive, or should I nuke my Java folder and reinstall Java?

I'd nuke java just in case. Reinstalling java isn't that big of a deal, but viruses are.

If they are currently running, you can manually shut them off in the task bar.
If not, you could try to sandbox them. As sj said, re-installing java isn't very troublesome.
