Malwarebytes has confirmed that those two files were false positives in the last update. Their next update will correct that and eliminate the false positives on these two files.

I dont have FIOS I think for some reason my mcafee was turned off. It was reinistalled yesterday by a bogus co. they set up a email address for my my wife {edited for privacy}. I tried to set up a account to retreave the email they said they sent. I was unsucessful. That might be the trojan. can you remove it?

If it truly is the Zeus trojan, that needs to be cleaned out right away and that computer shouldn't be used or on-net until it's seen as completely clean. Does any other anti-malware program report a Trojan being installed? It might just be a false positive with MalwareBytes' definitions files for today.
Check against Spybot S&D, SUPERAntiSpyware, Hitman Pro, etc. Pick whichever you want to check against.

I do not have FIOS. But, I did purchase Super AntiSpyware last year and returned it (ineffective). Malwarebytes, cleared old software and is now updated. If, you haven't already. Try ESET NOD32.

I am working with Malwarebytes now to determine whether these are new false positives or not. I will run SpyBotSD next. Thank you for your comments.
