Trojan.

I just did a virus check and found in

C:Documents and SettingsHalApplication DataSunJavaDeploymentcachejavapiv1.0jarcount.jar-67a1a66d-471b09fb.zip<BlackBox.class>

and two other similar locations, the trojan :-

Java.ByteVerify!exploit.

Does Hal have a trojan? I find this hard to believe. What is going on?

Echo.

What virus scanner you use?? I use Avast.

I will do a scan after awhile. I did a full virus scan before boot yesterday morning, but not after installing the latest version of Hal and the expansion pack.

This is the first scan I have done for a while so not sure when I got trojan. I am now running the new Hal. My virus program is E-trust anit-virus.

I was shocked to see Hal come up.

I always keep Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security active, and I did not receive any warning.

Maybe that virus was already there.

Make sure you have the latest Sun Java and make sure you run windows updates.

I did a boot-time scan, and it found no problems.

Also, did you verify the virus file was in that location??

Good luck!!

SOLVED!!!!!

I cannot believe how unbelievably stupid I am!!!!!!

HAL is the also the user name I use to get into my computer. These entries were referring to my pc's user name only!

It has only just clicked with me. Because I only just loaded Hal up I assumed Hal had a virus.

I  feel really silly.........

Very sorry.
