Found a new icon on my desktop today which started a scan right away. Having
MSAS- AVG FREE- SPYWAREBLASTER- AD-AWARE- CCLEANER I didn't install this
program and havn't had a single problem with this set-up i use (100+scans
with msas). Stopped scan, add/remove to remove UNSPY PC went to search and
deleted everything from unspy pc, went to ccleaner and it was disabled,
switched users and ccleaner was completely gone from my brothers side of the
computer. Did a full deep folder scan with msas and it found three virus's,
during the scan AVG opened a window to tell me of the virus. Found was trojan
horse downloader agent SH - t horse clicker FR - t horse generic L ZZ
(AO115512.EXE, AO115514.EXE, SYSTEM 32\IDEMLOG.EXE) I've never had any
problems with the security i use, and would like to hear what really happened
here, all suggestions. thanks Ron
 
Let me argue with myself: You say that you've got Microsoft Antispyware
with real-time protection running, and also AVG, presumably up to date?

These two together should actually do a pretty good job of warning you if
you get hit by the current unpatched vulnerability--at least in the ways it
is presently being exploited.

How about your Java version?
