Vista - Help needed regarding a trojan found and possible relation to mouse troubles

I may have mouse troubles related to a found trojan(assuming it isn't a false positive).Here is the thread on the mouse problem so you folks can see what has been happening...

Mouse Issues Causing Minor Irritations Help Needed

What i need to know is if any relation to what you've read in the above thread and the trojan found or if it's a false positive and i should forget about it.The folder the alleged trojan was found in is the game Patrician 3 which i bought from gog.com over a month ago.The mouse problems began yesterday when i turned on the computer.Again,the problems are mere irritations.The computer is functioning normally.Just the odd behavior as described in the above linked thread.

It may be a false positive. You can do a scan with either Malwarebytes or with an online scanner like ESET or Kaspersky or all three. Kaspersky also has a file scanner you can use to test this file. If they all are negative, most likely you have a false positive. I am not using Avast, but I am sure there is a forum for it somewhere, where you can take this up, in case the other scanners fail to identify this file as a trojan.

check the "hover" options in the mouse properties. depending on your mouse software, there may be "hover to select" or something similar. also check the "focus" settings or possibly the "ease of access" settings.

As well as the good suggestions already offered I suggest you download & run the free version of SuperAntiSpyware to see if it flushes anything out.
SUPERAntiSpyware.com | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware!
As Submarine said the Avast forums should provide clues as to whether it is a false positive or otherwise.

I ran a scan with eset online scanner and it found nothing.I'm running malwarebytes now and will go to avast forum and sign up to ask about the trojan detected and see what they say.I also ran a chkdsk and it found something allocated or another.Couldn't get message since it exited quickly after it completed its scan and restarted my computer.

Keep us posted re how you go.

I sent the file as per instructions from someone at avast forum.Here's the analysis....

Virustotal. MD5: 9dee655ee5a80a3c61c7061530b74b66 Trojan.Obfuscated.ahkr Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated.ahkr Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated!IK

Here's the avast thread so you folks can follow it and any resolution that may come about....

Question about a trojan avast found

Try renaming it and wait and see. You could also try to ask GOG about it.

I've sent a message to GOG.com and have provided links to the relevent threads to this forum,avast's forum,and the virustotal analysis of the file found in patrician 3 folder.I'm waiting for avast to send me any info they may get from the file i sent.

I did scans again with windows defender,malware bytes,and superantispyware and found nothing new or return of the found trojan.I'm going to run avast antivirus right now.

I did a chkdsk and i found something allocated or another,but the computer rebooted immediately so i couldn't read what it said.an sfc scan found no integrity violations.

I just opened the virus chest and see another trojan.Transfer time for the file listed below was yesterday at 8:47:36pm.The original file i asked about was transferred at 10:24:46am.

File:$R4J4KQC.dll

Location:c:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-2341396437-2464387915-2156027273-500

Type:Win32:Trojan-gen {other}



I'll go send it to virustotal and get you guys a link soon so you can have a look.I'm also posting at the avast forums this stuff.
