Guest FIsc Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 This is the second time I received a warning from my anti virus software telling me a trojan is present in a Microsoft update. ( Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent ) What is this company doing?

And this even in breach with their own rules where they state a user may decide not to have automatic updates performed? Microsoft should be trusted, right!

My anti virus software was the only one offering a possibility to get rid of a klez type virus some time ago whole no other anti virus software was able to remove it! BTW the anti virus definitions created by this specific anti virus program is used by several other anti virus developers. Don't you think this says a lot about its validity?

I already mentioned a few years ago your regular American antivriusprograms found for instance at a given moment the latest type of Klez virus. Only 1 antivirus developer offered a solution to remove it, this wasn't Norton nor any other American antivirus software developer. You cannot even find a discription for the type of trojan in these anti virus programs as well. If you cannot find any reference to it, would you say they even know what to look for?

Dunno. I'd have gotten rid of that POS virus-warning program the FIRST time it flagged a Microsoft update as malware.

I keenly await your citations and references.... Microsoft have released virus-infected downloads (not in updates IIRC) in the past. The chance of them doing it these days is extremely low, no arguements there. It is not, however, zero. No software, no person, no process is perfect. Take a look at the AV software that started the thread, unless it's the made-up ravings of a deluded troll, chances are they're using software that is currently not working 100% correctly despite how much they obviously trust it.
