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.

It's a MHTML Redir.Exploit. The description makes it sound like it has infected my computer, but Norton says my computer is clean. Bernie Writeto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
