Bumfuzzled Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I had the same trojan, I am on the internet daily. I also found the Trojan in SystemVolumeInformation\_restore the object name was AO127570.dlll Could it have been a backup file when I did a system restore recently?

Brendon Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 That would be the backup of that Mpegstreamdemuxer.dll, but it's still a false positive, NOT a trojan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_cain Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 That would be the backup of that Mpegstreamdemuxer.dll, but it's still a false positive, NOT a trojan. It seems to have mended itself now on my machine following AVG update, don't forget to restore the original file from the virus vault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a "false positive" scan finding or the real thing ??
I rarely use the computer which Roxio is on for Internet activity so
