I did a Kaspersky scan tonight and got the results that I was infected with
not-a-virus:adware.win32.searchit.t and
trojan.win32.agent.nbu I didn't delete them because it looked like in the description that it had to do something with my computers sound. Also while researching on the internet I saw a posting that the Searchit Adware was due to an AOL toolbar (which I don't have). Could these 2 items actually be false positives and OK to leave on your system? Thanks for any info!

is Kaspersky your paid anti virus or was that just a trial scan? If it was a trial, I would say it is a false positive

Then if they were found on the paid version, I would quarantine the ones in question.
