I use Zonealarm Ver 7.0 along with adaware and spybot w/tea timer. My ZA is a combo firewall a virus scan and just today started picking up this "Worm.Win32.Huhk.c", I am not able to access some sites that require Java or do any downloads includes MS updates for XP. It quarantines it but it keeps coming back, any ideas whats up. I select the more info link in ZA but it can't tell me anything about this. See screen capture fm by pc.

Thanks for the post back, ref #1. At the Trend Micro site when I select scan I get " HouseCall requires that you activate at least Java Script. If you would like to continue, please activate Java Script in the browser settings and reload the page!" I tried step 2 but since I have had this infection I cannot download anthing from anywhere, really weird.

Then do so.

All items listed with Java in the advanced tab of my browser are selected, I will restart and try again, thanks.

If you're using Internet Explorer, try Firefox, if you're gonna be able to download it.
