    Using Nod32 are you? This app has had a few "issues" from time to time. If your update is from a reliable source, then all should be ok.

    Your antivirus software is probably showing a "false positive". If you've had no reason to worry with other updates, then just go ahead and install.

    Fingers crossed!

    Good to hear all is ok with the world again pomp3y, and you didn't waste anyone's time.
    Now wouldn't it have been interesting if all updates DID have a Trojan etc? You could've had your "fifteen minutes of fame" (an old Andy Warhol expression, if your old enough..lol)

    I thought I was cracking up because I have replied to this twice...... then I saw this was a double posted item. Why did you post it twice?
