Threat detected.. should I be worried?

**Blaaaaaaaah** · 01-15-2010, 09:06 AM

I was on a tourist accommodation site and I accidentally clicked something, and then a box popped up on my toolbar that says "Updating...". It looked dodgy so I tried to end the task, but before I could, the warning popped up saying the file was moved.

I looked up regsvr32.exe... but I don't really understand it. One site says it might be dangerous but another says it's not? @_@"

[Edit: weird thing was, there was no ads on the accommodation site. =/]

And for some reason I can't see the folder names of my folders... I dunno if that was cos of the "threat" though? But I can still access them fine...

Thanks.. I dunno about my name being katie, but I'd prefer you to call me Blahs anyway.

The infected file was automatically quarantined. There's nothing else for you to do.

just dont let your comp turn out like mine!

(a few days ago when i turned on my pc it kept restarting, i tried to go imto safe mode and it couldnt access it, and i cant even access my user screen Dx so now i have to take my harddrives out and put them in another computer and then copy the files onto my portable hd...)
