Obj name: C/Docs/HP Administrator/Application Data/Sun/Java/Deployment/cache/6.0/42/4251676a-2661 ceac

Det name: trojan Horse Java/Downloader P
This is all gobbledegook to me.Anyway its been healed and moved to virus vault.

Generally its been downloaded from an infected webpage (By rights, AVG shouldnt have let it happen)
Chances are your ok, but to be sure ~
Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/2894/
Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log):idea:0 -
Thanks.Havent a clue how to post the log here,but will have a bash bit later.0
