Thanx in advance

Just to give a heads up, I updated Pest Patrol tonight, ran a scan, and found something disturbing in the codecs for Real Audio and Quicktime. Until a few days ago, I had always opted not to install these. Here are the logs:

Here is the description of the RAT: http://pestpatrol.com/zks/pestinfo/m/mc_30_day.asp
It's quite possible something else came along, picked those 2 files out of the millions on my PC, and hid the trojans there, but that would be pretty low on the probability scale.
Anyhow, knowledge is power
-
false positive
pretty sure no malware included in the codec pack
-
Those two files are self-extracting WinRAR files. There is nothing wrong with them.

Pest patrol is shit. I used it and it fucked up my computer.I think it searches for programs that ru along a similar pattern to what it describes, and jumps to the conclusions that it is a trojan. Thats my assumption. Tell me if I am wrong.

You are correct Sir. After doing some research on Pest Patrol. I reached the conclusion, that program is crap. I read few other forums and shit. And found out, it has an Act of giving false positives.
