Ok,,here is my setup:
Windows XP Home Edition
Cable Modem
Lynksys 4 port hardwire router (3 computers on network)
Netscape or foxfire
Presently running Zone "Alarm Pro" as firewall but this is new addition.
I have the Anti-Vir but when i run the scan it will run through about 90% of the scan then switch off.
Ran "Avast" antivirus and it located "Exploit,HTML.MHTRedir
Microsoft has a patch for it,but it only works through outlook express and i dont run outlook.
I also have AD-aware spyware remover,,it will run in the smartscan mode, but when i run full system scan it switches off tooo.

What is the location on your hard-drive where you are seeing these viri? Are these in your temporary files? It is important to know where these are located.
Try this as well this will help you cleanup your system:
Download CCleaner
www.ccleaner.com/
GO OFFLINE (turn off your internet connection)
close all browsers (etc.IE,Mozilla..)
1.Install CC
2.run CC
3.press Analyze
4.press Run Cleaner
5.Exit
Let me know what happens....most of the time these exploits will hang out in the temporary internet files. I would not use zone-alarm and this will interfere with other programs and affects your system overall. Also don't use Anti-vir....there are better options out there....both AVG and AVAST have free editions you can use.
You have to be careful and check all your computers on your network since many things will infect one system and rapidly spread across a network.
Keep me posted.
