Malwarebytes.... I usually encounter that AV as part of some suspicious "downloader" apps I usually find from cnet, softpedia, etc. I mostly find them as trojan themselves bombarding you with virus/worm alarms after it was installed.
Try linux and you wont have to bother with av's anymore... careful with gnome though
this might be late. but im very curious. what kind of VMWare you using and what OS? im using Linux Ubuntu in my VMWare for personal use but i never use it for extra layer protection or testing game files. mind to share what OS should be use?
