yeah it seems to be the case. MSE scan in safe-mode found 0. /Even after removing it I could no longer get MSE to update.

Installed Avast, running scan detected 5 infected files @ 8% scan.

Remember that MS allowes you to install their AV on any PC running legit windows. I guess it is a ploy to encourage users to rather have legit windows than running a pirated version.

That doesn't matter since 99% of all cracks for Windows will bypass the genuine Windows check anyway.

Cant say for sure now, I deleted the files. Picked up some really suspicious looking exe files as trojans tho..

/Perhaps Avast's webshield could have prevented the "happy clicker" effect...
