    Ping Dr. D. Lipman re:what's with Sun Java and viruses?

    Ok - did the following as per your instructions and while no viruses were
    found durind safeboot, upon re-running Trend Micro's sysclean in normal
    mode, Avast found the vbs.redlof virus in the sysclean.exe file, which I
    understand has happened before to several people. I was able to move it to
    the chest, though. I'm assuming this is a false positive - correct? I'm
    running a Windows 2000 Pro OS.


    Anyway, here's the only errors in the sysclean log. These errors occurred
    in both the safe and normal boots. I substituted admin for the name of the
    user:

    "Avast found the vbs.redlof virus in the sysclean.exe" -- A well known Flase Positive
    declaration.

    Not worried about those error messages. Most are open File Handles some are directories
    where you need administrative rights to scan.

    Sounds like the Java Script Trojans were removed and nothing else was found.
