Trojan / Dropper.Gen2 in Intel drivers

After having some problems with my new L502x's HDMI port, I decided to format the hard drive and proceed with a fresh install, downloading the drivers I want directly from Dell's site.



What is my surprise when I finish installing the drivers and I move on with the Applications. The free version of Avira Antivirus detected the trojan Dropper.Gen2 in a weird folder: Intel Bluetooth's!



I am attaching a screenshot so you can run a scan on that folder and find out if I am the unlucky one, or maybe it's just a false alarm. I decided to "Ignore" the 4 assumpted detected trojans, but I will move them into quarantine if you find no viruses in that folder.



Cheers!

If you downloaded the drivers directly from Dell's site... it is a false alarm.

Personally, I would remove all of those and make sure the scan shows up clean. Then either download them again from Dell or the manufacturer (whichever has latest version).

Avira is notorious for false positives.

I got the same for the intel bluetooth drivers using AVG... didn't even do a fresh install yet, it was just the first avg scan I ran. Then on the 2nd I was up to 15 trojans :/

Probably fake positive.
