My A-Squared Free has detected Heuristic.Dialer and logged it as high risk.

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{CD4FFB59-2D70-44B5-8DE2-BDD5B9529241}\RP83\A0042637.ICD detected: Heuristic.Dialer

But According to http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/?Heuristic.Dialer

"Heuristic is a technique to detect Malware that ignores whether the detection can be proven to be correct, but which usually ensures a good detection rate. A heuristic detection module searches for Malware specific patterns such as Win-API calls.
A file detected as Heuristic.* looks like Malware, but you should always check them if it may be a false alert. If you are not sure, please always use the quarantine and do not delete such files immediately."

Comments please? Is it safe to delete or not?:confused:

I am currently running F-Secure Internet Security 2007 OEM.

Click to expand...

I am now getting a F-Secure message saying that 'rasutou.exe' is tring to shut down my modem connection.
 
Are you on dial-up ?


I see nothing nastie in your HJT log

rasautou.exe ... is the Microsoft Remote Access Dialler process ... it can be used by third party legitimate programs to manage connections.

I have no faith in A-Squared.
