    New Virus?

    Vcom's virus scanner warns me that I have a virus called JS_WONKAA. It supposedly is in the document & settings folder, but when I went there i couldn't find it! Has anyone heard of this virus. I went to mcafee's & symantec's sites and it wasn't listed in either one?

    Google doesn't even know about it. It sounds more like a Java Script that could be malicious. Did the AV software quarantine it, or something like that?
    You could go to www.trendmicro.com to do an online virus scan, just to play it safe.

    Quarantine it, then wait a few days and try looking for it on their websites. I must agree though, it just sounds like a javascript gone wrong.
