    Windows Update brings virus on PC???


    Hi all..

    After a recent update, I found that 3 of my PCs running Windows 7 had Avira reporting a virus ( C:\Users\User\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\cmd.exe)

    One of them , I also caught it being reported WHILE the update was being installed.

    isn't this weird??

    I'd run some online scanners to see if they agreed and I would look at Avira forums to see if this might be a false positive.

    C:\Users\User\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\cmd.exe is not the real Command Line...if it was it would be in System32.

    That must have existed from some other sources.

    Did you run a 'shell' command as listed here?
