Was This a False Positive?

I ususally run a quick scan, but tonight decided to do a full scan and it turned up the following as an infected file. I ran a Google search and a Norton search and came up with no information that would confirm it's a bad file. But, I went ahead and deleted/quarantined the file anyway. Would like to know your opinion. It was labeled as a trojan agent.

C:\program files\hewlett-packard\hp officejet t series\BIN\tourlaunch.exe

Thanks in advance. It's my first problem identified by MWB. I also run Norton 360 version 5 and update it daily. Any ideas where this trojan agent came from if it's really an infected file?

Here is the log report.

Since the file is in quarantine

You can dequarantine it by doing so ...

Launch malwarebytes and select the 'Quarantine' tab

From that window, scroll down and locate the file in question.

Click the [Restore] button to dequarantine it.

I don't have a zip software program.

Windows has built in tools for doing that.

Right click on said file.

Then from the context menu, select "Send To" > "Compressed (zipped) folder"

OK. I ran MWB again and it still comes up as a Trojan Agent. Also ran Norton 360 on the file and it was negative.

I am attaching the compressed file for you to analyze. Please let me know if it's OK or if I should quarantine it again. Thanks in advance.
