     Hey Guys,
Looks like you guys have a case of the Java.Shinwow.
More info on this trojan can be found at:
http://www3.ca.com/virusinfo/virus.aspx?ID=36651
In addition to the checkes that you would need to make.
You would also need to check the Host files on your machines and then delete the bad URL entry ( IP).

Warmest
