Im surprised aero vista theme is considered a virus? How is that possible?
Could the scanner pretend some things are viruses only because it couldn't recognise the program?

That is a possibilty.. Some times things are detected as they have malware like behavior,so a tool may flag it.

Download the FixTDSS.exe

Save the file to your Windows desktop.
Close all running programs.
If you are running Windows XP, turn off System Restore. How to turn off or turn on Windows XP System Restore
Double-click the FixTDSS.exe file to start the removal tool.
Click Start to begin the process, and then allow the tool to run.
Restart the computer when prompted by the tool.
After the computer has started, the tool will inform you of the state of infection (make sure to let me know what it said)
If you are running Windows XP, re-enable System Restore.

Not sure about this but could I delete thoses programs installers in my "m" by plugging it to my ps3 and delete them ?

Can a ps3 machine be infected? Or the viruses can't operate since they were made for windows operating systems unlike my ps3?
