detected first virus/trojan

detected my first virus/trojan today - avg autostarted a disk scan - normally i stop it as it takes half an hour but this time i noticed it had found something though it failed to nullify it.

did a kaspersky online scan which confirmed - so no false positive.

it was a java openstream trojan - did a windows search and found the little toerag - one zip file one idx file - deleted them - switched off system restore point emptied bin and rebooted - checked to make sure gone - switched restore point back on.

downloaded a military grade file shredder - if there's a next time i will well and truly shred any infected files.

 

having captured my very first trojan in the wild - i thought it might be fun to submit it to jotti's to see what their scanners made of it.

On my own system - AVG found it with a manual scan (so why didn't it detect it with it's real time scan?)

 

found another online file scanner....
