    My anti-virus program found and deleted a "vmexploit virus ".
    I am using e-trust. It was recommended as using a relatively small amount of ram. The speed demon involved is an AMD 350.
    Neither the symantec of Mcafee websites list this virus. Any ideas
    about it. How virulent,common what horrible things does it do ??:D :D

    This is not a virus, but an exploit weakness in the JVM.

    I also use Etrust and it is not only ram but also processor effecient! Excellent virus program!

    I would not be concerned about this but to eliminate it update to the 3809 version of Java.
