Hi!
The JS/Wonka Trojan is a website JavaScript file that contains a Trojan Horse payload.
To get rid of this AND to innoculate yourself against this trojan in the future, do this:
(1) Run the anti-virus program in full scan mode. When it is done, look for the file it reports that has the JS/Wonka Trojan in it and either use the anti-virus software's Quaranteen function or delete the file manually from your computer.
(2) Download and install Comodo Antivirus, Comodo Firewall and XPL's Link Scanner Pro software. This will provide better protection that what you are getting now. For added protection, also download and install XoftSpy and AdAware.
(3) Download and install Firefox and Thunderbird and use these in place of Internet Explorer and Outlook.
Now your computer is free of the JS/Wonka Trojan, and you have better protection. XoftSpy by iteself is an excellent Trojan/Backdoor scanner that picks up many many things that others do not. After running this and the Comodo Anti-Virus you can be fairly sure your system is clean.

I must CAUTION about comodo anti-virus. It is still in beta. When I installed it several weeks ago, it totally trashed my system. No way to recover or even uninstall the program. I had to do a total system restore. Take a look at the thread over at comodo.

usually, the virus will be "quarantined", which means that your protection service downloaded it into a "safe file" where it can't spread...for more information on the virus itself and how to manually delete it, you can go to the website PCHELL.com and see if it is listed there (most of them are...) most of the time you can find a way to delete the virus itself...
