Probably the wrong place for this but...

Avira Free reported this....as a trojan. But it wont remove it or quarantine it...what should I do? It keeps popping up.

Im trying Delete this time.

 

delete and or and empty browser cache

 

Delete no worky.

 

Cleared the cache with CCleaner. We'll see what happens.

 

don't go back to that site/link

 

I dont know where it came from.

 

it only mattered so that you don't have clear cache again because of the alert

 

So this was probably in the cache, and Avira monitors the cache, proactively, right. Cool.

 

Still getting the notice. Maybe I should reboot?

 

have you closed the browser and removed the cache? reboot but i don't think it would be necessary. What is reported location of that file?

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera\cache\dcache4.url.

 

Finally!

Action(s) taken:
The file was moved to the quarantine directory under the name '4e6674e9.qua'.


What should I do now?

 

Nothing. All done, only delete the quarantine if you want.

 

I have multiple instances of the Trojan in quarantine. I uploaded one to Avira. Should I just delete the rest from my Quarantine list in Avira. Should I use Eraser, to do so?

Edit, Oh, OK, thanks. See bold.

 

This has been a great learning experience.

 

Good on upload. Don't bother with eraser. Normal delete

 

Thanks for holding my hand in the kiddie pool.
