I run XP and have two programs for uglies BitDefender and MalwareBytes. My BitDefender spotted this virus Gen:Variant.Renos in my Adobe Drive CS4\ADFS.Menuddl[3128](memory dump)and was unable to disinfect it. I ran MalwareBytes and that program doesn't detect the virus. I haven't experienced any issues right now - everything seems to be working real well - but this is kinda buggin' me. Does anyone know if I can delete that folder without any issues? Or can I delete Adobe Drive without this affecting CS4 functionality? Any assistance would be great and welcome (besides get a Mac).

I don't know how much help this will be, but I get the feeling you are getting a false-positive from BitDefender. I have used MalwareBytes and it seemed to be a decent program. I don't know much about BitDefender, but the reviews at Cnet aren't that impressive.
Have you thought about trying a different anti-virus program? I use Avast and feel it is doing a great job at stopping the nasties from my machine. You will have to register to use it, but it is free. Cnet gave Avast a five star rating.
Did you update MalwareBytes? The free version doesn't update itself. If it is up to date then try doing a search on the internet with the message you got from BitDefender. If you are getting a false positive, then others have had it too. Avast is a great program, but in my experience you should use it in conjunction with MalwareBytes.
