Trend Micro identifying Microsoft operating system files as Trojans

Oh well....now after over a decade of Anti Virus products we still use pattern recognition as the primary method of identifying malware....I guess either we run out of paterns or Trend Micro was a little too aggressive ;-)

Recent updates from Trend Micro Internet Security, pattern 5.521.50 and 5.525.50, detected the Microsoft operating system files as Troj_Generic or Troj_Generic.ADV and quarantined them.
