AVG / HP Trojan

OS: XP w/ SP 3.

For the last two weeks AVG has reported a trojan in the HP printer software package as part of the daily scan.

Every day its removed and subsequently it is back again.

Googling the trojan number shows a lot of folk started getting this warning recently, always affecting people with HP Photosmart printers, so I suspect its a bug in a recent AVG update.

However: I ran malwarebytes this afternoon, which found six trojans, none of them the one that AVG was reporting, and eliminated them.

No help needed: just reporting it for other PPRuNe members.
