I have AVG8 protection which scans every night. Nothing to report till Wednesday night when it came up with TWENTY FOUR trojan horse warnings in various BVE files.
All the same virus. 'Backdoor trojanhorse. bifrose BES.' (deliberately not copied exactly accurately).
Files have been on PC for ages. So assuming they were only picked up due to an aVG update, has anyone else got this warning - and is the virus dangerous? AVG wiped them - but if they've been there ages could they have worked their way in?
Or is it a spurious warning??

No idea, but IMO it's best to use Windows Defender.

phil - it was a false alarm, the files are safe. Ta - thought so . Prefer it that way though (rather than miss dodgy stuff)

The issue FTR was with the OS_ATS dll files. These are open source, so if you so desire you can check the source to see that they're ok (and compile them from that).
