It is a Keylogging Trojan ! http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/p...x?id=453066947 If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0 update 6, then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE/JSE Version 5.0 update 6. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited. Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun Java to Version 6 on the PC that they be removed ASAP. The latest version is Sun Java JRE/JSE Version 5.0 Update 8 Simple check, look under... C:\Program Files\Java The only folder under that folder should be the latest version. Such as...
