    CUK May have yet another virus

    It's the same one, I think I've identified the ad banner thats causing it too - if anyones chasing this, PM me for info (I don't want to publically name them , as its not going to be their fault - Nick thought it was a worm I think)

    It seemed to attempt to uninstall Java from my machine, earlier in the week, which is a strange move.

            Haven't seen anything but am using AdBlocker.

            The last time this cropped up it tried to install the Java VM but didn't have any ad banners showing.

                  AVG blocks it. Does your A/V block stuff from the interweb or let it land on disk first then quarantine it?

                    FF and NoScript sorts it out for me.

                    And Avast.
