sarah_tvSo... this virus popped up managing to get past Avast...
16 hours later, it's cleared out. The very fortunate thing about the virus was that it was not particularly aggressive, and didn't get the secondary Admin account I had installed on my computer just in case... and in this case, it saved me a lot of agony.
It was one of those "YOu have a Virus! Register this now and save yourself!"... looked really slick too.
In anycase, Firefox deleted, Java removed (The real culprit here), and several registery scrubbing later, I'm back. Yeah.
