Sam Moeller File Shield Picking up McAfee Stinger?
I have McAfee Stinger running a full scan after totally formatting my PC due to a possible Trojan Horse.
Whilst Stinger was scanning some files in the "C:\Users\(MY USER)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\SolutionPackages" folder, AVG File Shield picked them up as VBS:Gamaredon-CM
The files all appear to be Javascript .js files with names like "hostUxStrings74.877c3673.chunk.js and the process that file shield mentioned was Stinger.exe
Can anyone confirm if this is just a false positive due to Stinger scanning them?
I've become really paranoid since the suspected Trojan Horse malware!
Thanks,
Sam
