Hey guys,
I was in my robotics class today when my antivirus (avast) detected a trojan virus..... here is a link to it... it says that the virus was blocked... i am just making sure it really was blocked...

This isn't really the right section for this... Yeah it blocked it i guess, though avast has gone crap over the years... too much ADs too little work. NOD32 for me.

Its too hard to tell from that. I would run a scan on your computer just to be sure

are you updated to the latest avast 7 released yesterday. for some reason you have to manually update it yourself.
go to summary and all will be ticked except version. click update next to it.
i had a trojan popup through steam last week which was a false positive. its the second one ive had in 2 years but still wont change my av software. -
McAfee is a bloat and a practical virus itself - I wouldn't really put it onto ones computer (at least not until the company reworks it from the ground up like Symantec did with Norton).
If Avast says that it blocked the Trojan, then it probably was blocked.
I wouldn't worry about it (although, I WOULD upgrade it to the latest version it was released just yesterday). -
^totally agree with Deks
