    Hi. I am new here. I am having trouble removing what Mcafee is calling the newact trojan. It has only just been listed on the Mcafee website a few days ago. It is being deleted from windows temp files as Bn4.tmp. I seem to have gotten rid of that with registry cleaner etc. and now it is showing up as Bn5.tmp. Has anyone come across this. I have no idea how I got it except that I was staying in a hotel on a wireless network for a month. Help?!
