    I ran ESET Antivirus and OSCust.exe came up as a trojan/infiltration file, so I deleted it. Anyone else have this as a virus when they do a scan?

    Do you have an Alienware notebook?
    If so, Eset maybe has detected a false positive.
    Check this forum post and this one for more info.
    Cheers.

    I had the same problem a week ago while I was installing Vista again. ESET warns "possible trojan virus" on that file. It happened the two times I downloaded the file.

    I wrote to AW, sending a copy of the file, and they answered that the file is clean. I wrote to ESET too but they have not answered me.

    I think this should be an ESET problem since none of my friends has reported the same issue using other anivirus.
