Infected with: Trojan.Downloader.Small.VAM

Is this really spyware?

You folks should check your systems too.

It would be nice to have a main thread forum for Viruses.

It means a file that is in the system restore is infected with the trojan. Best bet is to turn off system restore to remove all old points. Scan computer for spyware, malware, viruses and such. Then turn System Restore back on and make a new restore point.
