Is Skip This Ad A Virus Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware Getting Stuck On A File?

Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware getting stuck on a file? - is skip this ad a virus

Both McAfee Security Center and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (complete / full scan) to files placed in a folder ...

C: \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ Windows \\ \\ \\ \\ system32 \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ DriverStore \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\
FileRepository \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ prnhp001.inf_2ade4966 \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ I ...

(looks like some kind of HP printer drivers .. i am not even a printer)

Malwarebytes was the list separately (without any problems and no detections scan) to.

However, McAfee was put to stay. (Can I cancel the scan, but let me not "skip" the file.)

I also have with Spyware Doctor, SUPERAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware and Spybot S & D scans. without any problems (or discovery) No!

I will try online scans like Kaspersky and BitDefender, to see what happens.

If someone can tell me why this may occur .. or can also be signs of a certain type of malware?

You're right, it is for a printer. I have no idea how it got there. What you can do is open the Device Manager and delete the printer driver.
