I started the download from Comcast for their application Easy Solve which checks and troubleshoots the internet connection, during the download I got a pop up warning from SAS that it had detected a Trojan and to scan the system immediately, I did a full scan of SAS and it came up with O infections. Was this a false positive? It is a Comcast application so I wouldn't think it has a virus.

Thanks, Oren I also did a MSE and MalewareBytes scan and they both came up with no infections

Sounds ok then. Unless you want to do an online scan with one of the other well known ones. Panda, Kaspersky etc

That's the first time I have seen SAS give a false positive
