Ok this has happened on any website that requires Shockwave player I go to a flashgames website try to play 1 game then I go to fullscreen mode so a popup saying that it is installing Shockwave Player 10 apears I tried to click x then go back but by then its finished and a popup from Verizon Internet Security Suite showed up saying this-




So I scanned my computer C Drive and the Virus was found and deleted and this is what the report log says-

Im just wondering has this happened to anyof you have you gotten this virus by Shockwave Player 10? :

I haven't experienced this problem but it could be that that particular file was infected by another virus. Just wondering, you installed Verizon Security Suite right? This isn't just a popup from the internet telling you it was infected?

It could also be a false alarm. Go to the offical Shockwave site and install the player from there. If it still says the file has a virus, it most likely does not.

Doesn't happen for me... Try what Zerted said.

Just because a file is housing a virus doesn't mean it has all along. It's possible that Shockwave has been "burrowed into" if you will, by this virus of yours.

Well yes I do have Verizon Internet Security Suite and it showed on the report and scan page that it couldnt dissinfect the virus and the file that it infected has to be deleted but that file is indeed the installation of Shockwave 10 so I know that Shockwave didnt put it in some1 else put it in.
