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...

    WBell,

    Thanks for the information, I'm hoping at this point we'll hear from someone that knows what's up and we'll get 'more' of an answer.  Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    Sometimes, I believe that these boards give the people information about how much of a problem a certain situation is and of course the time for them to give it the proper reasearch.  I have lots of faith in the Sophos product line and have asked them to start selling their product to homeowners instead of just exclusively to corparate.

    Again thanks for the reply, hope you set it up for emailing you if anyone responds...
