I carried out the online scan with eTrust. Although I entered my email address, they didn't sent me a report. The outcome was 'no problems'. I tried the other links - Trendmicro and Panda kept freezing, and BitDefender's link wasn't found.

I know you didn't ask for this but I thought it might help - Avg 7.5 (free version) has this information in the virus vault:

ATTRIBUTE NAME / VALUE
Object name Firefox Setup 1.5.0.1.exe
Object path c:\program files\mozilla firefox
Discovery virus identified worm/vb.aug
File size 4.94 mb
Healable No
Source Backup copy
Status Infected

Thank you :)

You asked about my Firefox browser - I can't think that I would have downloaded it from anywhere other than mozilla.com.

Forcedel - it's a programme I've had for years and it's never caused a problem for me.

I thought I'd better mention a problem I have had over the last few days (since noticing the virus) is that the scrolling function on my mousepad has disappeared and I can't find a way to restore it.

Also, another problem is that my system tray was completely cleared out of icons - ie avg, zonealarm, spybot teatimer, power function.

Can I turn teatimer back on now?

Thanks again for all your help :bigthumb:

Hi,


You asked about my Firefox browser - I can't think that I would have downloaded it from anywhere other than mozilla.com.

Ok. I'll report that to Grisoft.

It's a false positive.

The virus is a false positive. It is less likely that firefox.exe which came from mozilla is infected..As for those two problems, I don't think they are malware related. I'm very sorry but my knowledge is only limited to Malware Removal so I can't help you with that problem. You could register here: www.pcpitstop.com , create a thread and ask about your problem.

Sure.


*Your Java is out of date....
Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components.
Click Start > Control Panel
Click Add/Remove Programs
Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
Click the Remove button.
Repeat as many times as necessary to remove all versions of Java.
Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
Then download Java Runtime Environment 6 (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp), and install it to your computer.

Reboot and post back if you have any questions :)

Hi Angelfire

Thank you for that, I've got the latest Java now, and Teatimer is back on.

I was just wondering, could I have been hacked with a virus being put into firefox? I don't know much about these things, you can probably tell!

I'll register on the PC Pitstop forum later :)

Thank you for all your help, I really do appreciate it :bigthumb:

That is less likely to happen..It's most probably a false positive by AVG..

You're welcome.

Hi again :)

I read Tony Klein's article this morning - I have to say that I don't really do much that could get me infected - I was surprised when I thought I'd picked up a virus. The amount of security software I've got on this laptop has doubled its weight :laugh:

I already had spywareblaster but I've downloaded the other two programmes and installed them.

Thank you for everything, it's very much appreciated :bigthumb:
