Hi edwardo
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Can you explain what the 'mini disc' is? Is it a mini CD that you received with the hardware that you are trying to use?  If that hardware is from a reputable source tthen one would expect the mini CD to be to and therefore WSA is possibly objecting to some additional software bundled on the CD or it is a false positive.
 
Either way, without more more detail as to the provenence of the software I would Open a Support Ticketand get the Support Team to check this out for you.  By opening the ticket they will get a copy of the scan logs and can determine from that if the fiel that WSA is objecting to is genuine malware or if it is a false positive.
 
Hope that helps?
 
Regards, Baldrick

I believe the mini disc referred may be a USB stick ie: SanDisc, etc....................if so it can be scanned by webroot and the infection cleaned!

It could be one of those smaller sized CDs - I've had software installs for drivers come on those.  I'm assuming because it is cheaper than the full size.
