ad-aware virus problem

[aardvark]

ok, for the second time in a couple of weeks, when i have started up my pc norton antivirus finds Bloodhound.Overpacked in my adaware exe and then quarentines it - the firt time it happened i uninstalled adaware and then reinstalled it, buts its now happened again.

this seems odd - is there anything i should be worrying about here?

Could just be a false positive.

Bloodhound is a term Symantec (Norton) use when they have found a file that could be a virus.

Update your Norton as much as possible, then uninstall Adaware and re-download and install the latest version: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

yeah i always have them both updated but can't find any reference to it happening to anybody else on t' net.

at the moment its just an annoyance

cheers

i'll see if it happens again - if it does i might just exclude the file from being scanned.
