This just popped up on the latest AVG scan, any ideas? I presume this was the file I used to install Firefox many moons ago but it has only just been detected by AVG, which scans every evening.

Anyone seen similar problems?

I can't see why you have the installer left on your computer though.

Hi,

Im pretty cert that this is nothing to do with Firefox. Have look along the bottom line of your screenshot.

GTL Update is a file from GT Legends a racing game. What it is doing with Firefox Installer who knows? Unless GT Legends has a facility to write HTML files for a screen shot of a particular incident as on GT4( PS2). It does seem like it...

It doesn't look like a virus/worm though...

It seems to be attacking the firfox installers (I keep a copy of every installer I have ever used)

Could be one of AVG's famous false positives ?

Put them on a rewriter instead of leaving them on your drive ? Broadband does away with the need to store stuff like Mozilla installers with its easy access and fast download times. If you reinstall from that you are at risk till you download the updates anyway. If windows crashes you'll lose what's on your drive anyway.
