Be careful PC Gamers. Fing sucks when you get a virus.

It's a false postive, I don't see how this is extraordinary. They happen all the time.

False positives are news worthy?

Just another thing to make everyone bash IW. What's new?

Is there even a Documents and Settings folder in Windows 7? The last time I saw that folder was on Windows XP.

Also, I just searched my entire C:\ drive and have yet to pick up anything related to this, so unless this is either completely false and someone is just trying to cause more mess for people to bash IW, or I have yet to get this fantastic "virus".

Update: It's already been cleaned. It was a false-positive and someone from Avira has stated that it was a false-positive and removed, just update the program.

At least, that's what I read from the link posted in the Source. I'm sure everyone is going to freak out though.

It looks like it's just an error from Avira/Avast.

My friend got a warning about a Trojan horse in C:\temp file, while playing MW2. He was using Avast. But there wasn't anything to be found there...

False positive indeed... Let the bashing begin

I heard about this today and I was actually really surprised. If IW kept everything the way it should be then there wouldn't be a problem.

/Fail at reading.

Of course it's IW's fault. False-Positives because of Avira automatically makes it IW's fault.

I mean, that False-Positive I got a year ago because of an out-dated definition was the fault of IW all along. They pretty much are to blame for everything.

My PC rebooted itself last night for an unknown reason. I blamed IW just because I know it was their fault because I've been playing too much MW2 and they're pissed.
