Sophos virus/malware help!

Hello Superpunch,

I fear we can't say much about it if you don't tell us what (out of hundreds of thousands) has been detected by Sophos. So please post the entity's name and preferably the related part of the Anti-Virus log (which tells you where it has been found).

Mal/Javajar-A

it located  in these location

C:\Documents and Settings\Super\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\60\e8267fc-3ccbc193

C:\Documents and Settings\Super\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\5\161f3f85-368e4837

C:\Documents and Settings\Super\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\59\2a9404bb-22ffd0bb

So you've found the analysis and need an explanation?

You don't expect all AV products to produce identical results, do you (how else could one claim to be superior to others)? Sophos says "generically detected" but is sure it is fishy malicious and in the More Information tab it also refers to Kaspersky. You see the following details (preceded by may): Exploit a flaw,  Download files from the internet, Run arbitrary code. Not only must the scanning engine be able to detect this but it's also a question of rating it. The site it attempts to download from might no longer exist and/or be "secure" when other researchers analyse it and they might decide that it is moot to create a detection rule in this case (of course I'm not implying they are lazy or negligent).

so how do i remove the viruses and clean the foldesr?

Start by opening the Quarantine Manager and look at Available actions. Detailed instructions are in  How to remove trojans, worms, and other malware with Sophos Anti-Virus (which is also referenced from the Action tab in the analysis).
