Trojan in automatic 2012 updater?
I would have contacted support about this but support apparently is only available for first 30 days. I have the full version, updated from a previous one. I was about to use Acronis True image, but upon innitiating a message popped up to say there was a new update available so I clicked on it. Went through the update process which was pretty longwinded, apparently updating various parts a few times. Finally I got a warning from my webroot security program saying it contained a trojan w32.trojan.gen in windows installer and it terminated the update. I tried to start Acronis True Image program briefly afterwards, and it may have partially installed as there was information about what the update comprised of. Please help anyone [especially staff] who know what is going on here. Screen capture attached.

Thank you Scott. I have had a reply from Webroot: 'Thank you for the feedback in regard to our new software. I have made the changes needed in our system so that you can now run the software. These should no longer be detected as infections. If it still gets detected I would like you to run a deep scan...' So seems they are confirming it as a false positive. Just about to do a deep scan, not expecting anything to get picked up, will let you know if it does.
