Thanks you, but it did not answered my question.

I do have use Spyware blaster, Spyware guard, Kerio personal Firewall, Avast, and was running latest JVM 1.4.2_5, now I have changed to 1.5 Tiiger latest build.

Lately I am also using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

I do have latest Microsoft Updates amd my security settings are set on maximum.

Still I do not understand where that infedction does come from?

By default Java is developed so ANY APPLET CANNOT ACCESS the hard disk - it is just forbidden by default for Java Applets. This what makes Java secure platform - this is written in any book about Java.

I am also an Computer Professional and Java developer and do know that there is basically no way to pass by the Java security restrictions especially for the applets!

Another thing: is it really a virus or a feature in the JVM?

When I made a scan of the computer with some of the tools from http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=5373 on a machine with a fresh installed Java, it immediately reports that there is a virus in the Java sources and I need to buy antivirus.

So what is it? Is it a marketing trick of one of the affiliate sites?

If it is really an infection, why does not AVAST detetc it at the first place and not only during the file system scan?

I am waiting for your future comments on this issue!!!
