Avast found AppletX.class tojan Java:Agent-B. Anyone know what this is? My Java is up-to-date and my malware scan did not find this.
Thanks,

Script Viruses
Script viruses are a subset of file viruses, written in a variety of script languages (VBS, JavaScript, BAT, PHP etc.). They either infect other scripts e.g. Windows or Linux command and service files, or form a part of multi-component viruses. Script viruses are able to infect other file formats, such as HTML, if the file format allows the execution of scripts.
