Recent infection on Toshiba Laptops

[planet399]

I ran MBAM on 11/2/10 on my toshiba laptop and it found 0 issues. Then I ran it again on 2/13/11, and it found c:\Windows\Temp\iefav2304.txt trojan.agent. MBAM removed and quarantined the file. Any internet research appears to indicate that only toshiba users are identifying this as an infection. Is this a false positive and are other toshiba users finding this to be the case? I haven't seen any other types of PCs with this issue. Also, I submitted the file to virustotal and 1 out of 43 vendors identified a trojan with this file. On Jotti, no vendors identified it.

One other thing, in file properties, the file was dated march 2010. I didn't even purchase my laptop until August 2010. So the file was in place upon laptop purchase.
