What should i do when my av ( Eset Nod32) keeps on popping up these two problems?:

C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TOSAPINS\COMPS1\Synaptics TouchPad Driver (3264bit)0\MANUAL\B27144C.exe probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TOSAPINS\COMPS1\User's Guide - Unattended Installation(Satellite L350-L355)0\MANUAL\B28065A.exe probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

I would be grateful for any and all types of help.

No. A buddy of mine told me it was more than likely a false positive but I want to be sure before anything happens that I'll regret.

well fisrtly you weren't thinking when you got nod 32cause it doesn't have its own firewall and rellies on the computers. if you wanted to get a good one with a firewall like nod32 by the same company you should have got eset smart security 4. but now to the point, nod 32 is known to be one of the most secure AVs
so to make it more secure and it will generely will try to get rid of the virus itself but prompt the user beforehand to see if the user actualy wants to keep clean or delete the virus. if you have kept ignoring it thats sprobably why it keeps poping up. if you clean it probably reinfects itself through internet connection. if you keep deleting it and it come back you sould install mcaffee site advisor (for firefox and it wont fight with nod32 or eset smart security 4 cause i use eset smart security 4 and mcaffee site advisor and they dont cause any trouble together)as some of the websites youvisit may be dangerous and could be the cause of the virus. if not you probably have infected yourself with a very quick self replicating virus and need to remove the whole thing before it can replicate again.

be calm as i get viruses like hat except there always svchost.exe files
