Ive just had to deal with the same exploit, Its a java exploit. You can learn about it here..

It came bundled with a another virus, my wife clicked the famous UPS file attachment link, this contained the Security 2010 malware.

Both were very easy to clean.

Get spybot search and destroy, that will tell you what else you have resident in your system.
McAfee cleaned the exploit you have but didnt manage to stop it installing itself along with the security malware.

Hope that helps.

hiya, i've recently noticed the same exploit on my machine, along with a few other problem files!

I've recently ran MALWAREBYTES & HIJACK THIS. Is it ok for me to post my log file here for someone/anyone! who fancies taking a look and offering advice?

Many Thanks
