ADW Minibug.A



Hi,

>From time to time, lately, when I come back to the screen I find the message
you can see below relating to an attack by the ADW Minibug.A. I believe it
is more of a nusiance than an actual virus. More of an attempt to send me
advertizing? I found the "minibug" subdirectory hiding in the C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Real and deleted it and I have not seen it since. But the
message, by PC-Cillin AV I guess, keeps coming back two or three times a
day. I am on broadband service with a router with two PC's attached
to it. The other PC appears not to be affected at all.

Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.
