IT Queries: Computer problems answered

After downloading the Adobe Media Player via the new ABC IView website, my anti-virus software – ZoneLabs Security Suite (ZoneAlarm Anti Virus) – found the following Spyware on my computer and has identified it as a serious threat to my PC’s security:

Win32.Trojan.SpyAgent.dbk
File: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\msflxgrd.ocx
RegistryKey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe

I’m pretty confident that’s a false positive from Zone Alarm, msflxgrd.ocx is a legitimate Windows file.

A quick search picks up some other people reporting this in the Zone Alarm forums in the last couple of days so I’d say it’s an Zone Alarm update gone wrong. My best advice would be to choose the option to permanently ignore this problem, ZA will probably issue an update fixing this problem in the next few days.
