Straight Answer

Do not use that disk. Try and grab the files online. Check them also. My concern would be if it wasn't too late.

i think you might be correct, only zone alarm is finding it, it's prolly the active x part of the keygen

Info i found

Win32/Malum.AMQU usually found in keygens

Also known as Win32/Malum.BHV, Win32.Malum.BHV, Backdoor.MS03-026 Exploit.Trojan (InoculateIT), Backdoor.MS03-026_Exploit!Trojan (InoculateIT), Win32/Rbot.SP (Eset), W32/Spybot.WE (F-Secure), Backdoor.Win32.Rbot.aeu (Kaspersky)

Win32.Rbot.DUA is an IRC controlled backdoor (or "bot") that can be used to gain unauthorized access to a victim's machine. It can also exhibit worm-like functionality by exploiting weak passwords on administrative shares and by exploiting many different software vulnerabilities, as well as backdoors created by other malware. There are many variants of Rbot, and more are discovered regularly. Rbot is highly configurable, and is being very actively developed, however the core functionality is quite consistent between variants.

like gref says. Don't use the disk and grab the files offline if you can. If you cant then install the files, scan for viruses and get rid of the trojan. Is it a big deal? Confused
