Quicken Trojan Horse

I received the following this morning:

online.exe Trojan horse PSW.Agent.VQA Location: C:\Program Files\Quicken\net\common\ocalweb\showme\online.exe

quicktour.exe Trojan horse PSW.Agent.VQA Location: C:\Program Files\Quicken\net\common\ocalweb\showme\quicktour.exe

My virus scanner got rid of them, but I'm wondering where they came from. I don't use Quicken online.

As I understand it, these are not viruses, but some kind of a threat of a trojan horse nature that would invade my computer if the programs were run. Is that correct?

Would appreciate some insight on the subject.

Hi, Don.

Which version of Quicken? Which version of Windows, including SP level? (See my Sig for my versions.)

I don't even have a "net" subfolder within my Quicken folder.

HOW did you "receive" these files this morning? Did you download them from somewhere?

I received a similar warning from the AVG AntiVirus program this morning. Except that AVG said the suspect Trojan files were in the ZoneAlarm folder! The AVG program "isolated" the suspect files, and I have no further notices. A subsequent AntiVirus scan found no problems.

Something funny going on, but I don't know what.

I think AVG just upgraded itself, but is confused.

My AVG scan caught them also.

I have no idea how those files got on my computer.

Yes, something strange.

AVG often comes up with false positives. I would not take any un-reversible action based on AVG without confirmation from other places.
