McAffee popped up and said I had sploit[1].anr and that it could not delete, quarantine or clean it. I immediately deleted my temporary internet files (where McAffee said it went) and disconnected from the net. I have been unable to find it with multiple manual searchs, McAffee, or AdAware SE. All are up to date. Did system restore. I then bought, updated and ran SpySweeper - no trace. MS Malware Remover - no trace. I can't tell if I have it or not.

1. Did I get a false positive in the first place?
2. Did I get rid of it when I deleted temp. int. files before rebooting?
3. Did system restore get rid of it?
4. Is it still lurking in there?

What exactly does this Trojan do and how can I be sure I don't have it, or, get rid of it??
