Mal/JavaJar-A was found on my Vista machine, but the free tool is unable to remove it.

jkwilborn

Hello, don't really know how to advertise for help here so what I have is the new free tool and it finds 1 item "Mal/JavaJar-A " that it can't seem to remove.  This file has another one with the .idx extesion.  Has anyone seen or has knowledge how to remove this item?  There is a little informtion when I run the name, but it says nothing about how to deal with it.

This is the log entry:

Virus 'Mal/JavaJar-A' found in file C:\Users\Jana\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\44\5278836c-4f0d6c50
Virus 'Mal/JavaJar-A' found in file HKU\S-1-5-21-1712956189-1131692434-1465249577-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations\LowRiskFileTypes

Along with this, which is when I tried to tell it to dispose of the item:

 The following items will be cleaned up:
  Mal/JavaJar-A
  Removal failed

Any help would be appreciate, I will reply about success  or failure.  The Sophos identity seems to indicate that it can up/down load files to the internet and maybe download other malware software, so any help would be appreciated. I have tagged it with 'e-mail me when someone replies' so I will get notified.  Thanks for any help...

    I got the same results.  I run GFI's Vipre Internet Security with auto update and scan every day.  I've downloaded and run several scanners from other reputable companies.  They all produce negative results.  I'm beginning to wonder if it's a false positive.
