This a copy of my Avast antivirus scan which I ran tonight. I have deleted the temporary file and ran various scans and all is now clear. I assume the web page reference is the site where the malware in the temporary file came from.

The detection may have been a false positive or an over eager heuristic detection.

If you are still worried you may be infected with malware have a look at this http://wiki.castlecops.com/MRP

Thanks for your reply tetak I went through the MRP before posting and nothing else was found so as you say it could have been a false positive, my only concern was the reference to "http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200506232138432.html" as I have never seen a reference to a specific address before on a scan result.

Thanks once again. BL
