Found Java/Open virus this morning (AVG did) but can't remove it. Googled for a remover. No luck. A search of our forum - same. Any-one knows how to?

If I can just find out how I got it - I visited no other sites than 3 x online newspapers, cricinfo, TelstraClear end Xtra. I even pull the plug out of my Jetstream modem when not surfing. !#$%^&*(

this should fix it for you.

Where the heck I got it from is still a mystery

run a spyware cleaner just in case it did manage to install something.
