Solved: security alert. please help.
Hello I have Trend Micro Security Pro in my desktop. the past couple of days I have been getting an infected file alert about an infection in Disk/DIScover.exe it was of low risk so i figure it was ok but it did allow DISK/DIScover.exe and the detected resource or process ID was from HKLM/SYSTEM/currentcontrolset/services/Cdrom

??????


"DISCover.exe was blocked according to the extention list specified under preven unauthorized changes"

it said it was a user defined exception.

what should I do about this, and how?

any help is appreciated

Thank-You

Dear 88Jonsson,
Run your anti-malware tool(MBAM) and see if it detects and quarantines the file. If not, delete the file. Can't take a backup now as you already have an"infected"file in your system. If deletion is O.K,then GO for a backup and restore utility(Macrium Reflect Free version). Best wishes and welcome to the site!

Would also make a suggestion about adding SuperAntiSpyware to your defenses. It and MalwareBytes are 2 of the best antispyware programs going, despite the fact that they are freeware.
