I'd also recommend malwarebytes, combofix, and superantispyware.

Thanks,

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Caution to Group Members Trojan from Yahoo Banner 
Advertisments

Hello to the Group, 

I wanted to advise everyone... one of my computers 
received a Trojan script netsky infection, from of all 
places a Yahoo Groups Banner Ad. I have/had all the pro-
active McAfee Anti-Virus software installed, running and 
up to date. 

I found the Norton Extraction tool, Ad Aware and a number 
of other popular Anti Virus tools don't even see this 
script, nor are they able to prevent it. You don't want 
to have your machine on the web once this Trojan is active
and removing the worm has been a lot of work. 

McAfee can detect the Ad once it's on the machine after 
much, much, much homework I found the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 
Package has been the only one (so far) to be able to detect 
and clearly prevent this embedded code.

So, please understand you can receive a Trojan Virus just from 
the Banner Ads in your web browsers display. I'm not sure how 
this really bad compromise will be sorted out by various web 
sites... but for the individual I might suggest you ensure your 
anti-virus software is also installed into your web browser 
activity and that you ensure it is clearly able to deal with 
the mentioned compromise. 

cheers, 
skipp
