While traveling for several weeks and using webmail to pick up my e-mail, I
received a couple of messages stating they were from USBancorp. and the
subject indicated there was a problem with my debit card. As I don't have a
debit card from USBancorp, nor any other business connection, I deleted the
messages without opening. When I returned home and updated my antivirus
software and ran a check it produced three problems. One was worm/bagle.gen
which was deleted. The other two were
hdr35(1).js KIT/Phish.Sekuryb.3 I instructed the program to delete the
files and it gave me a reply "Infected files in archives will not be deleted
or repaired".
 
Now when I am in MyMSN and click on a news item I receive a screen which
names a file
C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\USER\LOCAL SETTINGS/TEMPORARY INTERNET
FILES\CONTENT.IE5/VB7K6EGE\HDR35(1).JS
The screen then gives the following options
Move file to quarantine directory
Delete File
Wipe File
Rename file
Deny access
Allow access
 
None of the options appear to do anything. I check "deny access" and it
repeats the screen 2 or 3 times and finally transfers me to the webpage I had
asked for.
 
I have deleted everything out of CONTENT.IE5 with the exception of a file
called "Index DAT File" and when I have tried to delete it I get a warning
message that it may be required by some programs so have backed off.
 
I am using Windows XP and the Antivir antivirus software which was on my
computer when I bought it.
 
I don't seem to get this warning message any time other than when I am in
MyMSN and try to activate a webpage headlined there.
