    JS_REDIR is a Java Script Redirector Trojan. These usually sit in your temporary internet files folder. If you purge this folder or if the software quanartined it, its likely gone. If you do a rescan and nothing detected, I'd say it may have removed it on its own.

    I would however go with a better antivirus as well than that package if your data is very important. I havent heard bad things about the Trend Micro AV, but their hardware is generally not top of the line quality so the AV may also be questionable quality programming wise.

    You can go ahead and re-post your log file and one of our Malware Specialists will see if you're still infected if you want.
