Kelly, Sophos found one on my computer as well called: "Troj/ObfJS-BK" "Remove Manually" It is not the "Flashback" one so far as I know. I don't know whether I should get upset about this and take it to a tech to remove it or to just ignore it? If anyone knows, I would appreciate your input. TIA. Jef

>>With all this chatter, I downloaded Sophos and ran scans and, oh my god, found 4 or 5 trojans and such. When I looked them up, they were all Windows related. I am actually not sure if Sophos scans for Flashback or not.<< I have had that same experience, years ago. Ran a scan with something, and got back several positives. They all turned out to be Windows bugs I had received in emails from Windows users. I suppose one could run AV software just as a courtesy to one's Windows using friends, so that one wouldn't pass these things on when forwarding messages. Or not.
