Warning Trojan Found: MHTMLRedir.Exploit

[RAMOUTAR]

My PC warned me three times about this trojan today.

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/mhtmlredir.exploit.html

Here's where the trojan was found:

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\(the user)\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5(or your current IE version)\OJ5BQEFH(or some derivative thereof)\COUNT[1].JS

The warnings on my PC stopped after I set the action from "cure" to "delete".

eSignal ran fine, but I had problems with Outlook.

It may be old news, but with all of the viruses out there it's hard to tell what's new and not new.

If anyone has addt'l info on this trojan, please advise. Thanks.

It's OK because you caught it before it got in.
Just make sure your Windows critical updates are current, and maybe run a couple of online scans to make sure you're clean.
