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...

    Christian,

    Thanks for the quick, so to speak unveiling.   So in a nutshell, it could have existed, but we really can't do anything about it.  I'll keep it in mind.  Thanks very much for your time, I was wondering if that's what the description meant.

    Thanks again,


    Jack
