    Yes, This is a heuristic detection for files that may have been obfuscated or encrypted in order to conceal them from antivirus software. In general, infects computers through adult pornography and free software sites and through spam email advertisements. After activating Trojan Generic.189 generate corrupt install .Exe in system32 and the flooding of the PC with the bulk of messages pop. You need to remove it as early as possible. If you still have this Issue, Update your Virus Definitons, make sure all boxes are Checked in the Manual Scanning section and do a Full System Scan in Safe Mode.
