Malware? - Hardware & Software

Some of you may have heard of a program called keybored, it's basically a java app that plays keyboard noises. There was a thread about it on here somewhere once. I've just done a virus scan (just a quick scan) and it came up on avast! As a malware-gen. Should I be worried? It has been moved to the chest but I've had the program on there fir a while, I'm not going to lose my credit card details or anything, am I? Sorry I can't give much more info right now, I'm in bed on my iPod touch.

Avast! is kinda bullshit at times.

False positives are easily found, it probably used a bit of code to stop people stealing the source code. Many trojans use this too, it must of picked up on this code and thought it was a trojan. You'll be fine.

It has a lot less false positives than symantec endpoint protection (which I used to use). I had to update it every day to ignore steam.exe because it thought it was a suspicious file...

[QUOTE=MasterF3n;23091187]Why not try Microsoft Security Essentials instead?[/QUOTE] Because it thinks Unlocker is a virus which it classifies as "severely dangerous".

Is MSE any good? Should I make the switch? And by the way Avast! Free is the only virus program i'm using, should i use malwarebytes or something else aswell?

I've been using only MSE and it's been absolutely fine. A little bit of common sense and MSE should keep you safe. If you're that paranoid, malwarebytes is supposed to be good. If you're even more paranoid than that, [url=http://www.sandboxie.com/]Sandboxie[/url] for everything you run!

Wow, I just got a bluescreen after posting that.. post. It did a crash dump or something, I'm thinking about reformatting but it's going to be a pain in the ass to do because I can't find my CD key.
