Today I ran a full system scan using Online Armor++. It detected Trojans in the installer. I have had this installer on the computer for many months and I do not remember if I ever installed it on this PC or not. For some reason I unpacked the installer with 7zip though. I was probably going to attempt to make it portable. Anyway so I had the installer in a folder, and another folder next to it with all of the installers files unpacked. The VMwareVS.cab file that was extracted from the installer, also had its files extracted into another folder. This was all done many months ago. OA++ did not detect the installer itself as as Trojan VMwareVS.cab, but it did detect 4 of the files that I had unpacked as Trojans. Here are the details of what the scan detected on my PC today.

Note: I uploaded these files to VirusTotal....the Ikarus and A-squared engines(the engines from Online Armor++) are not detecting anything. But some of the other engines are detecting the same Trojan that OA++ detected(Trojan.Win32.Vapsup).

Are these files indeed infected by this Trojan, or is it just a false positive? Does anybody have the same version of the original installer, who could find out if the Checksums of the installer and unpacked files match? Should I be worried about whether this Trojan has spread and infected my machine?

Thanks in advance for any help!

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ.

If you downloaded it from anywhere other than VMWare, it can contain ANYTHING.

If you take a look here, I think it may be a false positive as VMWare's SHA-1 and MD5 match what you have (at least for the single MSI file):

VMware ThinApp 4.0.3

File size: 7 MB

File type: .msi

MD5SUM: 9e32e3272d2637fb6e0759a604879e6f

SHA1SUM: 19ef5a6d586ddcc5b9222ba57b0f14159655f3f8

So, can't confirm a false positive, but I would think it is likely
