Last night I ran my AVG version 7 scanner, as I had gone to a site and AVG popped up a warning the site had a trojan on it.
AVG deleted it.

However I ran the whole test, and it found 3 in my documnets and settings folder.

Can someone who also runs AVG version 7 scan their documents and settings folder and see if this is a false positive?

I am leaving the 3 files alone for now until I do some more investigating on this.

You can see all 3 are listed under the Sun\Java Deployment folder.

 

Corey,
See this info from Symantec http://securityresponse.symantec.com...yteverify.html

I had something similar on my system that was found with Norton. They are tracking files. More spy-ware than viruses.


Ususally found on "questionable" sites, lol

 

AVG Picked up the same files on my system. Doubled checked by going to Trend's website and running their free online scan www.antivirus.com

Trend Picked up the same virus's. Seems to be a Java Virus.


Looked into it a little further and it seems that there is an update to the Java console I was running and this was one of the security fixes it addressed.

 

Thanks for the help guy's.
That one site I went to was linked in a post on the UT 2004 forum I use.

That virus it caught though I do not think is related to this Sun\Java one.

I ran Spysweeper when I got home, and all is clean.
I opened up AVGs test center to display the results, and I moved the files to the Virus Vault.

I rebooted and ran the scan again for the docs folder, and all is well.
By the looks of this, I am using Sun Java, and not MS's virtual machine.

Maybe I should switch back?
I will also bring up the Sun console and see if it can be updated or not.
