Hi. I'm running Windows XP Home SP3 on an IBM ThinkCentre 8195-26U. While cruising the internet earlier in search of pictures of zebras (pretty innocent, I thought) I clicked on an image in a Google image search and Avast! 4.8 Home Edition popped up a warning that a virus had been found, offered me the opportunity to abort the connection, and looks like it quarantined something. The file it apparently found was identified as "JS:ScriptIP-inf[trJ]."
I'm not very well versed at this, but it looks like a Javascript file (?).
I disconnected from the internet and did a full scan with MBAM just to double check, and all appears normal.
Here's my question -- I'm using Firefox 3.0.8 with NoScript and Cookie Whitelist addons, among others. If this was, in fact, a Javascript trojan, should NoScript have caught it? Are there any other addons for Firefox that might be helpful in protecting my computer?
Can anyone provide any additional info on what Avast! caught? I'm trying to learn more so I can take a more effective part in keeping myself safe.
Thanks.
