I had the Vista permission screen pop up and ask if I wanted to run the program 0.06256622085957053.exe. I declined and a second popup asked to run 0.45394908390448696.exe which was also declined. Then Norton popped up and said suspecious programs were trying to run, me being the first instance of the 0.0625... program in their records. After reboot per Norton's request, I found a third program 0.6840672844941504.exe had also tried to run.
Looking at Norton's log of these events, it said that less than 10 users had encountered these programs. I also found out they came from the website www. hoploawq.com. Looking it up on Google revealed it is a known malware producing web site.
Does anyone have any insights into these?
Update: Since posting this I've had 5 more attacks. Norton identifies these are "Trojn. FakeAV".
The program is further identified as www. hoploawq.com/exe.php?spl=java0
Another update: Hmmm... It seems to happen when I visit this web comic http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/index.htm
