Am running 32-bit Win XP Pro SP3.  Browser is IE8.

 

I spent several days trying to  rid myself of Trojan: JS/IframeRef.  Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) stopped mentioning said Trojan but switched to Trojan: JS/Seedabutor.B as of yesterday.  I can find no mention in this forum regarding my new threat.

 

The related items are:

file:C:Documents and SettingsJaneLocal SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE57QSXKEVJwebgetclick_com[#].htm

file:C:DOCUME~1JaneLOCALS~1Temptmp1AD1.tmp

 

The bracketed number varies but otherwise the item appears to be the same.

 

As Administrator in the Safe Mode, I removed all *.tmp files from C:Documments and SettingsJaneLocal SettingsTemp and deleted the 7QSXKEVJ folder from

file:C:Documents and SettingsJaneLocal SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5.  While still Administrator in the Safe Mode I ran a full scan on MSE and it appeared to have eliminated Trojan: JS/Seedabutor.B.

 

When I did a normal reboot, however, I received messages to the effect that threats had been detected and that no action was required on my part.  Checking History in MSE reveals that the threat stems from Trojan: JS/Seedabutor.B.

 

I am at a loss as to what to do next.  All suggestions will be appreciated.
