I got the same message from my Norton Antivirus (MHTML Redir.Exploit). It
also said it could not remove it because there was no virus to remove. I ran
a scan and my system comes up clean. The Symantec site has the following:

MHTMLRedir.Exploit
This threat allows a malicious Web site to download and execute programs on
your computer.


This threat contains specially-crafted, HTML code that can download and
execute programs without prompting you. This threat only affects Microsoft
Internet Explorer.

When visiting a Web page or receiving an HTML email that contains this
threat, a file can be downloaded and executed. Under normal conditions,
Internet Explorer would prompt you before allowing any executable content to
be downloaded and executed on the system. This vulnerability in Internet
Explorer allows specially crafted HTML to bypass this security prompt.

This detection prevents HTML files containing this vulnerability from being
executed.

Microsoft has released patch MS04-013 to address this issue.


REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
Because this is an exploit only, there are no removal instructions, since
there is nothing to remove. This is a detection for the exploit, preventing
the execution of malicious content on your computer. By detecting the
exploit, it is prevented from running.

Greg,

I get the same virus message...only when I click on the Chicago site for
some reason. It's a MHTML Redir.Exploit. The description makes it sound like
it has infected my computer, but Norton says my computer is clean.
