Virus or trojaners on a website are a little bit annoying...

Hello,
today I click a little bit arround in the www and open a website where
OneCare thought there is a virus Virus:JS/Decdec.A, fine.

BUT:
1) I get the messagebox that OneCare found this virus, no more. I get
no infos that this virus are on a website.

2) In the windows eventlog I found:
....
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?link...tid=2147592807
file:\\?\C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temporäre
Internetdateien\Temporäre
Internetdateien\Low\Content.IE5\9QEP1ACJ\index3[1].htm
.....
with the additional text that there is an error 0x80508017 and the file
is on a write protect path.

3) I get an error message box, that it's impossible for OneCare to
remove this file and it's better to make a full system scan.

I guess the reason for 2 and 3 was that I push the "Delete" button in
step 1.

-Why I get the message in the eventlog for an already deleted file and
why Onecare sysy "impossible to delete" for an already delet file?

-If I get a Virus on a website, is it really necessary to make a full
system scan?

Hi, Peter.
The virus was downloaded to your temporary Internet files and detected as it
saved. Hence the warning. I can't say why OneCare can't delete the file, but you
can delete the Temporary Internet Files and be done with it.
A full scan is a security precaution after any detection in case the threat
managed to deliver another payload before OneCare took action to block it. It's
up to you about doing the full scan. My feeling is that it is probably not
needed if you know where the virus was found and how it was received.

another button. (Sorry I forget which on, "Cancel"?)
OK, but it seems to me that OneCare not regonize that the user push
"Delete". It seems to me that OneCare try to do something with the
already deleted file.

You, know, that sounds possible, Peter. It does seem odd - if you press delete,
there would be nothing to clean - especially if the file was deleted
permanently.
