battery not charging

My battery is stuck at 5% and isn't charging at all. The battery indicator is flashing which is a sign it should be charging.

Re: Detected Data1.cab as malware ?

Just like you i think it's false positive. the cab file located in SWTOOLS directory is 253 MB, you can forget about uploading such a big file to virus total or jotti sites. The AV scanner detects the cab file itself as malware , not indicating any files inside the CAB file. Still i would like to kn...
