Posted January 11, 201213 yr Hi Folks!

See: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=VirTool%3AWin32%2FObfuscator.XZ I emailed Alexander Berezkin, the hmonitor.exe creator, and he noted this was a false positive, confirming that hmonitor.exe did not conatin any viruses. I need your help....is this a result of MSSE reporting a false positive and if so, what do you suggest I do so MSSE no longer tries to remove hmonitor.exe ? Thank you, Bill Quinn Continue reading...
