It's not malware, it's a vulnerability. Suggest you read the
Frequently Asked Questions and Suggested Actions subsections of General
Information, too.

Thanks all for helping me with this.

As I understand it this is a vulnerability with IE7? The machine in
question is running IE6. I always use Windows update and in the past I
ignored one patch for IE7, so I now went back and tried to install it and it
doesn't install presumably because I am running IE6.

I had Quarantined this vulnerability when it was detected and hope this will
fix it if it needs to be fixed..

My other machine which is running IE7 has a different anti virus programme
running and it hasn't found this vulnerability. Is there a way I can
check that this machine does not have this vulnerability?

TIA

B.W.
