...whilst in the middle of writing my Aunty an email, Windows Defender
decided to fire up and do a sweep,
and as soon as it started up, up popped AVG 8.0 "Threat Detected,"

...false positive ?
...should I upload C:\Windows\system32\PCANDIS5.SYS to Virus Total ?
AVG 8.0 has never complained about this file before now !

regards, Richard

Based upon your reply, your DNS servers haven't been altered to something like
85.255.x.y
which is a sign of a DNSChanger Trojan. Your Router get the DNS Servers from
the ISP and
you get the DNS Service via the Router.

However, %windir%\system32\PCANDIS5.SYS is too legitimate. *.SYS files,
drivers, belong
in; %windir%\system32\drivers

If you'd like, you can email me a sample and I will have my "peers" check out
the file.

In the meantime, search the Registry for; PCANDIS5.SYS and see if it is being
loaded and
from where and post back the results.
