This morning I ran a full scan and found two infections listed as Spyware.Banker (I've been running one quick scan a day for the last week and have not found any infections until now). I removed them, rebooted, ran two more full scans (one in safe mode) that reported no further infection. I assumed at first that the infection had been the result of accidentally clicking on a piece of spam mail received to my gmail account; however, a subsequent full scan run on my parents computer revealed an identical infection there (a quick scan conducted immediately prior to this did not reveal any infection). As we don't tend to visit the same websites I found it quite odd that we should get the same malware infestation at the same time and wondered if it was perhaps a false positive (in which case I've deleted two .exe files I shouldn't have from Packard Bell's) or if it's just something that's very common at the moment. If the latter is the case then I'm worried that the infection has been there for several day, undetected by the quick scans, and that a major security breech may have taken place without our knowledge. I've copied and pasted the revelant Mbam log below and would appreciate any further information anybody can provide.

Greetings .

I suspect these entries might actually be false positives. Please refer to this post: Read before reporting a false positive!
and post the info here: False Positives so the developers can take a look.

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response I've posted the log to the False Positives board, so hopefully it'll turn out to be something and nothing.
