    You'd need to give the full path/filename & exact detection name for better advice.

    EG: C:\Directory\folder\sub-folder\filename.exe -> win32.trojan.agent


    They could be false positives or harmless traces of old infections if your not having specific problems.

    You could always upload detected files to VirusTotal and see what other scanners make of them.


    Personaly I dont think ASC is very good. I wouldn't trust them with the security of my own PC.

    Are any other scanners detecting the same files?
  • Thanks for your advice I will look and see what other scanners display
