trojan horse PSW.Generic6.AQPD

This popped up from AVG this morning. I was scanning with Defender for spyware at the time and they found nothing. Meanwhile, AVG detected this and I wasn't surfing at the time.

In the past I have had warning regarding certain viruses but they turned out to be a type of spyware or something and not a virus. I read a previous posting here on another trojen horse PSW generic 6 with a different suffix, and the community seemed to agree that this was not a virus. I am hoping my problem will be the same.

This was in my windows/system 32/macromed/flash/flashutil10a.exe file.

I hope someone can help me. I'm new and this is my first post.

Update AVG antivirus and scan again.

It's been reported that the false detection of this 'trojan' has been fixed.

I can confirm that the problem has been fixed with the latest download.

I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!
