Gareee I picked up all the goodies and surf a lot of Japanesse sites and no alarm from Norton or Ad-Aware. Both are continually updated and running when I am online.
What makes you say it is a Japanesse trojan virus anyway? Did it orginate there and then spread? That bottom one is really old, over a year, if you just got it your protection should have sounded an alarm before you updated it is not a new trojan. Protection should have already been there, assuming you had protection on of course.
For those worried, of course run a full scan, I do them once a week anyway, even though I only surf with protection on. Last night in fact, no virus's.
I personally have no doubt in my mind that I DID NOT get a virus from the files or site visits that I made in my participation in the Namihei April Fool.
Appreciate that you were trying to give everyone a heads up but perhaps your heading was a bit alarming, based on your suspicion and no proof, even if it did have the word possible in it. :-) Just MHO :-)
