Hey all! I ran clamxav last night and it discovered a file named js.agent-48 on my computer which I promptly deleted. Quick google search revealed minimal info. I was wondering what it was (i dont remeber downloading anything) and if I need to take extra steps to get rid of it?

Thanks!
 
It's a Windows trojan, and completely inert on the Mac (due to the fact that it's an .exe file and cannot run on a Mac). Nothing you need to do.

JS/Agent is a Windows trojan. It cannot affect Mac OS X in any way. Deleting it is all you need to do.
