Post Virus detection
I scanned my pc with Avira antivirus and it found this

Code:
Starting the file scan:

Begin scan in 'C:\'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Custom PC Benchmarks Suite 2007\Source\MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2
  [0] Archive type: BZ2
    --> MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar
      [1] Archive type: TAR (tape archiver)
      --> MPlayer-1.0rc1/stream/asf_mmst_streaming.c
        [DETECTION] Contains recognition pattern of the HTML/Silly.Gen HTML script virus
    [WARNING]   This file is a mailbox. To avoid damaging your emails this file will not be repaired or deleted.


As you can see this is a file in CPC benchmark suite. I had it on my drive for two years and it has never been a problem, until today.

So what I uploaded file to online scanner http://www.virustotal.com/ and this is what came out:

I know that formating is all over the place but point is that two antiviruses out of 40 reported a trojan.
I guess I should ignore but I will ask here to make sure. If this is a virus it would be my first in 6 years...

What do you guys think?

Post Re: Virus detection
As I've mentioned before, I've seen a PC have five different anti-virus suites on, one at a time, two were paid for, all were up to date. They all came up with a certain list of the same virus', and each seemed to add a few virus' of their own... :?

Call my an idiot but up until a few days ago I never ran anti-virus software (and as far as I can tell I never got a virus). I say a few days ago because I installed windows home server and it basically threatens to send Bill round if you don't install some.

Most likely a false positive.
