I received the following in a report after running a deep scan:


C:\AOL Instant Messenger\AIM.exe=>wise0090=>wise0008 Detected: Adware.AWS.A


C:\AOL Instant Messenger\AIM.exe=>wise0090=>wise0008 Disinfection failed


C:\AOL Instant Messenger\AIM.exe=>wise0090=>wise0008 Move failed


What do I do now? Please email me with any help you can provide. This is on a Dell desktop running Windows XP SP2 that is up to date. Thanks

    Hello robkapl


    That is because there is a toolbar included in the installer. BitDefender or any other antivirus can't remove an infection inside an installer and rebuild the installer afterwards. If you wanted to remove delete the installer.


    Best regards
