Am I infected with W32/Fakealert.AZT trojan?

Hi,

I am working on a Vista SP1 computer that didn't have updates since July 08. I updated the 57 security hotfixes and other updates. I am running AVG Free 8 latest updates.

I ran F-Secure online virus scanner and it reported four viruses:

W32/Fakealert.AZT (C:\USERS\ALLUSERS\AVG8\UPDATE\BAKU...)

W32/Fakealert.AZT (C ROGRAMDATA\AVG8

W32/Fakealert.AZT (C:\PROGRAMFILES\AVG\AVG8\AVGCOREX.D...)

I attempted to disinfect and clean but F-secure couldn't. F-secure "crashed" in the internet explorer window.

I followed guide to deleting Fakealert but the Windows processes to delete did not show up in taskmanager processes list. I also didn't find any of the popups that declare I have a virus and that I should download anti-virus programs.

Is this a false positive from F-secure?

Thanks.

 

hmm i think this is a false positive mate so you can ignore it if you have AVG installed

 

Thanks for the reply. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware found nothing. But F-secure allowed me to disinfect the 3 viruses it found. Here is the report:

I hope they are indeed false positives. Thanks.

 

if you know there location why not just go there and delete them and re-run the scan and see if it finds anything this time?
