    3. Yvonne, I am familiar with the familysearch application. My wife does transcribing for the LDS. I also have it my PC. We are Linux users, so the application files are a little different. It is too much of a coincidence that the java application would also be a false positive. It sounds like the trojan.dropper activated before it was stopped, and you may have more malware on the computer. You need to scan with an off board virus scanner. Installing a virus scanner at this stage is probably not wise. Download a good virus scanner on a different computer you know to be clean, and burn a cd with the scanner on it. Then scan the whole drive from the cd. The cd is read only, so you know it cannot be infected. AVG do a rescue cd for this job. The best thing to do is go to http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-rescue-cd and follow the instructions. Let me know how you get on.

    3. Hi Les, I Googled late this afternoon and discovered that Malwarebytes has been having a problem and that Java CPL.exe is a false positive and is not a Trojan. It is supposed to be fixed. But, I certainly will scan. Perhaps I can go online and do a scan. If that is not advisable then I will follow your instructions and do a scan before I release these programs that appear to be okay. I will let you know how things go. Thanks so very much for your help.
