I have an Acer 2920, great little machine, that I use for a specific audio purpose. Because of this, it is still set up more or less as delivered, running Vista with the various initial Acer junk and demo icons etc. on the screen.
Today, AVG popped up an infection warning about "Trojan Horse Generic2_c.RCL" at C:\Program Files\Acer GameZone\Jewel Quest Solitaire\aJewelQuestSolitaire.exe.
I've put this file into the Virus Vault. I then tried to run Jewel Quest Solitaire, but all it does is show the splash screen and provide a button to let me buy it.
Amongst the screen Icons at startup is an icon for Acer Game Zone. This doesn't go to the pre-loaded Game files but takes me to an Acer Game Zone website.
I don't play games and will probably just remove all this unwanted junk, but I did wonder if anyone else had seen this warning message.

If I remember correctly I've seen the same warning on my sister's Acer laptop- it's been false positive.
Upload it to Virus Total to check if other AV products detect is as a threat. -
I have an ACER Aspire 4720 and just ran an AVG scan and got the exact same virus in the exact same file. AVG says it cleaned/healed the file and moved it into the virus vault.
Trojan Horse?
