Hello, I just scanned my dad's PC with Ad-aware 6 Personal and monitored that directory whilst doing so. No files turned up at all, and the directory was removed after the scan was complete. Maybe these files are placed there before being moved to quarantine? - Russell On Sun, Jun 20, 2004 at 10:36:16AM -0400, fedhead wrote:
Seems benign enough. Every night when it runs, after the first scan of the registry, it creates four files in the C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 6\cache folder which Norton AV catches as trojan scripts: exploit.chm installer.htm shellscript.js shellscript_loader.js
