Is this a virus?

Asked by Dr_Dredd (10540points) February 6th, 2010

A few weeks ago, my antivirus program found and got rid of a Trojan (Trojan.FakeAlert). Ever since then, I’ve been getting random error messages about buffer overflow, such as “McAfee has automatically blocked a buffer overflow. File C:WINDOWS\system32\services.exe.” Can this be caused by a virus?

The antivirus program also is removing something called Rootkit.Agent, which keeps coming back. Can that be part of the viral infection as well?
