Wasn't sure this was the correct forum for the question. These two viruses kept reoccurring together, but scans showed no infections. Trojan:Win32/Sirefef.AH and Trojan:Win32/Sirefef.AC A subsequent update cleared them. Sorry for the vagueness. Dave Boston

It still couldn't get much more vague. What is your OS? What AV were you using? have you done scans with any other AV or anti-malware program? What symptoms were you seeing? Do you know how you got infected? Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth

Using Windows XP Pro Version 2002, 32 and Security Essentials AV with no other anti-malware. These two viruses would set off an alert at regular intervals and security essentials would clean them. They showed up both on-line and off. On-line, I got redirected to mostly TV promotional announcements. They may have come from Yahoo 'sidebar' garbage that you can endlessly follow. I went through Fix-It and did a Security Scan and they popped up during that and I think that triggered a Security Update that cleared the two. Maybe it was something else. I tried the mal-ware removal tool, but it found nothing. That they kept reoccurring while off-line, yet the scans found nothing was the most puzzling.Dave Boston

Both appear to be variants of the same Java-based exploits. You should update your Java applications, and uninstall all old versions of the Java runtime. It would be a good idea to go to a specialist malware-removal forum for asssistance, as such exploits often bring in other forms of malware, which may or may not be found by normal scans.

Usually the normal anti-virus can't remove the latest viruses completely. Trojan:Win32/Sirefef.AH is one of them. That's because they are adding new characteristics all the time, so you can't detect by antivirus or antispyware software. In such circumstance, manual removal with expertise is required. If you're not professional with system files, you can search "computer expert online 24/7" from Google and get an online technician to help you fix it. Or if you're skillful enough, you can try this guide.
