Trojan Found in ASC after updating to ASC9

I downloaded and installed ASC 9 after using 8. And on the first scan this came up

I am left wondering if this has been there a while, and only the latest update of ASC was able to detect it. Or if it came with the new version I downloaded.

I just upgraded to ASC Ultimate 9 and got the same Trojan. I spent hours yesterday trying to remove the Trojan and get back to normal. My virus scanning sw (FSecure, provided by charter) did remove the Trojan. But after that my Internet Explorer 11 history and address history (pulldowns from the left and right of the address bar in IE 11) are no longer kept. Going back to a known good system restore fixes that. But now, just installing ASC 8 or ASC 9 causes the deletion and failure to build-up those two histories. In addition, I got a troubling message from my google taskbar this am that my computer was generating extremely high message traffic. I am running more virus/spyware scans this am to see what is up. I have un-installed all IOBIT sw as well. Please help. I have been am ASC customer for many years.

Unfortunately, I cannot help with the Trojan issue....only Iobit can...and they seem to be very reluctant to do so.

For your history issue, please carefully check your Privacy Sweep settings and your autoclean settings.

Thanks Scannan. I have checked the Privacy Sweep and Autoclean settings, and they are fine. This particular symptom (deletion of IE 11 history and address bar history after installing ASC) is very consistent. If I back out to a known good system restore, IE is fine. Just installing (not even running) ASC causes these symptoms. Iobit insists this Trojan was a "false positive" but it caused numerous problems on my laptop, including messages from Google indicating my PC was generating huge amounts of network traffic and a pop-up that indicated I had a virus and to call a phone number for help (which I think was a scam, caused by the ASC upgrade package). Net is that I had NONE of these problems before installing the ASC 9.0 upgrade. When I look online at the Trojan.Heur.DP types of Trojan, they look pretty bad, and indicate that this Trojan is used to hack people's financial data. So I have changed all my passwords, and contacted the credit bureaus and put a fraud alert on my/my wife's credit reports. So if anyone requests our credit report we get notified. I will not re-install IOBit software until I get some assurance that this bug is fixed. It was not yesterday morning. I may ask for a refund of my ASC payment.

1.Open ASC Ultimate -> click Options icon on the top left corner of the main screen and select Settings -> click Privacy Sweep under Care.

2.Uncheck all the options under Internet Explorer column -> click Apply.

3.Click AutoClean under Automatic Service in the Settings window -> check the option "Sync the same setting from Privacy Sweep" -> click Apply.

Iconpin32.exe, if my guess is correct, is the program that sets the ASC icon to a smiley face or a frowney face depending on when you ran your last scan.

What probably happened is your antivirus software saw this executable, noticed that it was changing the ASC icon, and flagged it as self-modifying code.
