from a software that was meant to be a spyware detector and cleaner. I even paid for it!!! I am going to return it to them and request a full refund as I don't think that I can use something that cannot be trusted and that already cost me a lot in terms of time spent on fixing the problems caused by this virus. The program is called Spykiller.
did you receive email via outlook? could have gotten trojan that way.
do you have a firewall on your machine?
have you updated windows with all the new updates (windowsupdate.microsoft.com)
i just removed trojan from someone's machine, it's a nasty virus. relatively easy to take care of, but it can be real dangerous.
(opens your machine up to spammers / stores keystrokes and passwords to send to another machine, depending on which strain of it).

I just (a few minutes ago) came on the board and opened this thread, whereupon this message from McAfee VirusScan popped up: "The File C:\WINDOWS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\WDM7452J\SHOWTHREAD[1].PHP was infected by the Exploit-MhtRedir.gen trojan and has been deleted to complete the Clean process."
The same thing happened when I opened the thread on Ryan Jones (with a different filename, of course), and then happened twice more when I came back to this thread. It hasn't happened on other threads (so far). Hmm.

Hmmm this seems to be a problem specific to McAfee...
