Trojan called 'Trojan.Generic.2582177' on my system
Hi,
I have Window7 Ultimate 64 bit on my system. I use Bitfender as my antivirus software. This morning it informed me that it has found a file infected with a virus called 'Trojan.Generic.2582177' which it cannot clean. I've contacted Bitfender to see if they know what I should do but haven't heard back. I did this through the Bitfender Support panel in the software itself but now I'm worried that (because of the virus) the info from my machine may have been sent to some hacker somewhere.
I've found the infected file. It's in my Mozilla profiles folder and is called 'permissions.sqlite'.
Does anyone know what this virus is? Can I just delete the file? Will that solve it or make it worse? If I do delete it will it affect my system in any other ways?
Thanks.
SJ.
