Hmmm.

Okay.

I thought you said ZoneAlarm "caught" it!? If so, why were there things
to clean up?

It is a trojan*, but beyond that - who knows. If you scan it with a scanner
that is capable of identifying malware, you'll probably find it is a "Spybot"
variant.
It is a trojan because it is not (evidently) a Hillary Duff screensaver.
I tried to check it out for you, but it is not available on my server.
I have several purported screensavers (trojans) that my Norton AV
detects as:
The "W32.Spybot.Worm" virus.
(how sad for J-Lo to be replaced by this upstart, <sigh> but that's show biz)
