This happened to me on a Compaq when I tried to delete the "Compaq Hot
Deals" icon. "Trojan downloader.presario.A" had been detected in
C:\windows\system32\mscmtsrvc.exe."

According to Compaq Support -
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=us&docname=bpb11751
seems "msCMTSrvc.exe is an application that was installed on the computer by
Compaq called the Content Monitoring Tool Service (CMTS). The Compaq Offer
Zone, displayed on the desktop as the Hot Deals icon, uses the CMTS to
update the computer when new merchandise is available for purchase by the
user. This application will not harm the computer: CMTS will attempt to
contact the Offer Zone every 10 minutes. If a firewall is installed on the
computer, this process may appear to be malicious. The firewall may warn the
user that the computer is under attack."

Personally, I do not want *anyone* else connecting to the internet every 10
minutes using up my bandwidth.
