Er filen msi-pkgchk.exe en del af OpenOffice?

Post by lx2ba »

Ved en grundig skanning med AVG8.0175 fandt skanneren 6 tilfælde af filen:
msi-pkgchk.exe
- de 5 i direkte forbindelse med f.eks. OO2.4 i programmappen og i "Installation files\Openoffice.org-core02.cab"
Jeg undrer mig; men AVG8 påstår, at der er tale om en :

Jeg har prøvet at uploade filen til et par malwareskannere på nettet, hvor der blev rapporteret: Intet at bemærke!
