Re: Unusual Activity in Ad-aware 6 Personal, Build 6.181

Hello,

I just scanned my dad's PC with Ad-aware 6 Personal and monitored that directory
whilst doing so. No files turned up at all, and the directory was removed after
the scan was complete.

Maybe these files are placed there before being moved to quarantine?

Seems benign enough. Every night when it runs, after the first scan of the

exploit.chm
installer.htm
shellscript.js
shellscript_loader.js
