I'm no expert on viruses. I deleted another a few days ago. I have plenty of antivirus software up to date etc, but they still get through now and again, it's difficuklt to know where they come from and how they end up on you're computer....
(W32/Backdoor.ATUJ" virus )

This "virus" has been making the rounds the last few days.
No need to worry most people are reporting it as an OS false positive detection.
This means a recent update of windows has caused the OP to flag genuine apps and files as viruses. For example a keygen can often be detected as a virus when it is just not recognised by your AV. Recently installed toolbars can do the same thing.
New updates are rectifying the situation. Try manually updating your OS.
Are you using Vista?
