Is this a real virus

[MZB]

I ran AVG and it says it found a virus that it deleted.

Specifically:

C:\Program Files\MyWaySA|SrchAsDe|deSrcas.dll

It also calls it Adware Generic:HNU

Does anyone know what this is. I never heard of this folder either, but it
has been on my computer (the folder itself) since 9/3/05.

This is the first virus reported however

It is not really a virus. It is malware in the class of adware.

Please download, install and update the following software...

Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.
