[CGUYS] AVG found Touchstone Software driveragent_488.exe

2009-05-19 Thread Richard P.
AVG found Touchstone Software driveragent_488.exe during today's scan.
It found it in a junk file where I put all of the programs that came
with the computer that I don't intend on using. It also found it in an
Application Data folder. AVG says it is a Trojan horse SHeur2.AGFP

Does anyone know if this is a false positive or is it something to get rid of?

Thanks in advance.

WinXP, SP3

False positive. It's a utility that's supposed to scan your drivers and
download updates if necessary. Never used it, so I don't know if it's any
good, but it's not malware.

Thanks for the feedback. To my knowledge, I've never used it either.
It is a comfort to know that it is not going to take over my machine
in the middle of the night and make life a living .
