Anti-Virus Warns HomeSrWW.cab!!!???
Hi, Antivirus warnsthat C\HomeSrWW.cab is a Virus or unwanted program. Do I delete it move it to quarenteen, or ignore it? Heck, How does my antivirusknow thathomesrww.cabis an unwanted program? If HomeSrWW.cab is a virus, OK I can see the need for the alert (someone reported it or the anti virus Co foundsome security issue with it) that would make sense. So, do you know,is HomeSrWW.cab a baddie or what? Thank you for opening my post and for any replies.

YesFCR You need to trust the anti-virus program first, until you find out differently. It could be a false positive or maybe not? HomeSrWW.cab is supposedly a file for installing Microsoft Ofice Home and Student Edition. That being said, all retail software can be the source of a virus infection 'if' it is downloaded from a *** website or from a BitTorrent or any other file sharing source. If you purchased this software, you may have been duped by an unscrupulous retailer or.....? I would at least move it to quarantine and then checkthe website foryour anti-virus program maker and see if there is any information in their av database on this file.

You obviously need this file - do not delete! It is part of the MS Office install. See this link and be careful who ya trust on-line. You can remove files that will corrupt your Programs - hence a self inflicted "virus so to speak". http://www.techreplies.com/home-office-56/system-shows-homesrww-cab-missing-office-602989/
