The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Hello
    I'm not a techie, so am wondering why this file keeps coming up as possibly "unwanted" when McAfee does a scan. That's the only one. Rest is clear. If I delete...any ramifications? :confused:

    Make a restore point then go for it - delete it. (I do believe it's a trojan)

    If you can locate the file, upload it to VirusTotal.com and have it scanned by 20+ AV's.
