Just ran a full scan and it's under "c:\Users\name\local settings\temporary internet files\silverlight.exe", I tried to open the local settings folder but windows 7 won't let me, is this a false positive or what, i do have silverlight installed for media centre, how do i go about accessing the exe to test it on virus total?
 
I managed to open some temporary internet folders but i don't know where it is, i really want to scan it online to check if everything is ok.
 
You could put in a Linux LiveCD and access the filesystem/upload to virustotal that way.

That's a good idea, dunno why i didn't think of it, it was hidden and in a different location, why microsoft mess about with temporary files i don't know, anyway looks like it was a false positive, even copying and rescanning with malwarebytes didn't detect anything a second time.
