Microsoft Security Essentials finds Win32/Anomaly.gen!A on my HP G72-C55DX Windows 7 notebook, over and over again. There is some talk in the Microsoft Security Essentials help area about it possibly being a false positive, but I want more information before I accept a best-guess answer about "Severe" threat that is "dangerous and executes commands from an attacker."
Microsoft Security Essentials says it's here:
containerfileD:\preload/base.wim
fileD:\preload\base.wim-> (Image58595)\SwSetup\HGUS\WT\src\bits\WT\games\pla
file
\preload\base.wim->(Image7328)\Program Files (x86)\HP Games\ (last part of this line removed so this form would let me post)
I've normally been a build-your-own person, so I have some basic questions about recovery partitions. I haven't even looked in there.
Is it possible to delete games from the recovery partition?
If not, is there anything wrong with deleting the whole D drive? Other needing to do a fresh backup without it, I mean.
Could I still restore a backup that is taken without the D drive being present... or does what's in D include whatever tells Microsoft my installation of Windows is genuine?
Otherwise, I have OS install discs that are not OEM.
