    Problem with C:\windows\Installer\7b830msi plus Other Malware-gen(Trj).

    > C;\winsows\Installer\7b830msi plus Oher Malware-geb(Trj)

    What Anti-Virus program are you using? Perhaps Avast or AVG?

    I think Other:Malware-gen [Trj] might be a Avast/AVG detection...

    Have you asked the provider of your Anti-Virus program or in their forum?

    Perhaps it's a false positive detection.....

    Suggestion to upload the detected file to
    VirusTotal     and see what they say.

    In addition suggestion to read/do:

    Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.
