The only thing I've done in the past day (since last scan) is install vmware player and download Ubuntu 11.04 and TinyXP. I just did a scan of TinyXP because I scan EVERYTHING I download, even if it's a txt file. And when MSE opened it said "Potentially Unprotected"

After scanning TinyXP it showed this file: Win32/cmdow but I'm sure it was there before I scanned TinyXP. What is this file? Is it bad?

I looked at the history, and it turns out it was in the .iso, but the torrent was trusted, had multiple seeders, and was uploaded by eXPer1ence, none of his/her file's are bad, (TinyXP, TinyVista, Tiny7, etc)

Tool:Win32/Cmdow is a command line tool that can be used to hide windows.

It's not malicious in itself but it can be used maliciously. You should be fine.

It's part of the operating system. It's okay.
