After I got the Java "virus" this morning, I checked everyhting again exhaustively. Went to Trendmicro for a housecheck and it found two worms : rbot.lk and mytob.a. Googled to see how to remove it. Did everything the various sites said, but could not find a single file, registry entry, etc that said I had the worms. I could not find an automatic remover.

My AV's picked up nothing, only the eicar.test virus I d/l'ed last week. Spyware proggies also clear. Checked with other inline scanners - clear.

I am worried that the frickin worms are here and I don't know where to look or am I a bit paranoid? Where the hell do they come from - I do not surf the frickin net at all.

I also saw that to do a housecheck on Trendmicro, you have to use MS. Firefox not supported. Any other on-line AV that will recognise FF?

vil.nai.com it is'nt an online scan but still does the same thing.
Check in task manager what processes you have running to see if you can find any thing strange.

Checking the Task List now - a quick scan showed nothing wrong
