Hi,
My daughter was on the computer and EZTrust popped up and said it detected a virus. We were in the middle of d/l shockwave, so we waited until that was done.
I then scanned my computer and it found no virus! I looked in the virus reporting log and here's what it says:

eTrust EZ Antivirus real-time protection has found that C:\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\CPEN8LYF\MAXHITS[1].HTM is infected with HTML.VMExploit.enc virus.

That message is listed 3 times.

I deleted all of my temporary internet files and history (haven't touched the cookies yet.)

I went to the virus library and it said it's not a virus, but a security vulnerability re java machine where code can be run thru active X and to get latest java patch. I checked, and I have version 3805 Virtual Machine. I think that's the latest one so I don't understand how this could have affected me. And I just now searched with Find "html.VMExploit.enc" and nothing showed up.

Is my computer okay?

Also, anyone familiar with EZTrust - why is it that the message popped up telling me about the virus and when I clicked okay, the box just left? I expected it to give me a choice to delete it or something.

Thanks for any help. I don't want to turn off the computer until I know it's okay (I know some viruses get active on a boot).

Sincerely, Nancee
