    Update Malwarebytes and scan again. Probably a false positive.

    I have updated Malware and completed another qucik scan and it still reports it as a trojan. Should I ignore it and assume a false positive or delete the exe file.

    A quick scan with avast has detected not threat.

    I got the same today from a scan with Malwarebytes -updated before the scan.
    File Fsuirt.exe is something to do with Bluetooth, which I don't use.
    File quarantined by Malwarebytes without any trouble. Windows XP.

    PC working normally as far as I can tell.

  • Hi people, I am new here. I found you on Google when I was also infected with the same Trojan. It is great to know that there may be tools that can help. :j I will try the recommended tools first but if tools won't work for me, I may try the manual removal guide which I found on Tee Support site just now.

    I hate those who created such nasty things that caused great trouble to others! :mad:

    It was confirmed a false positive.

    It's always worth making your first port of call the Malwarebytes forum dedicated to the reporting of possible false positives, to check whether or not it has been reported & resolved.

    I would have to be pretty desperate to even think about throwing money at shysters like Tee Support.
    It would, of course, be very uncharitable of me to suggest that this poster might have dragged up this old thread because he's connected to that organisation.......
