I just had a weird MSE popup...

My MSE just gave me a popup about an unknown file that it had detected on my system. I sent it off to Microsoft for analysis, but should I just go ahead and think about hauling my system to the local IT department for possible virus removal? Or is this nothing to worry about?

    Depends, did you catch the name of the offending file?

    I have an ip scanner tool that always throws MSE a warning but I know it's harmless.

    Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and see if it catches the same file.

    Ran MBAM and yep, it threw up an alert. Caught the same file as Rogue.SecurityScan - not much info on it available online, but if MBAM caught it, it must have been something bad.
