Clicked on a Keylogger link on WoW forums.

Hi there. Yesterday I was browsing the WoW forums and wasn't paying attention. I ended up clicking on a link that was something like jn.32325.cn/random/picture.jpg. That's not the link of course, but gives you an idea of what it looked like. The link loaded up a picture like normal. I didn't click anywhere on the picture and was on Firefox at the time I clicked. Now I heard Firefox was good at stopping this, but I don't have any plugins for it like NoScript. It's just the default version. The progams I had running at the time were Spybot Search & Destory, Avast! Anti Virus and ZoneAlarm Firewall. None of them went off with any sort of warning when I clicked the link. Avast! however went off with an alert a few minutes later. I believe it was a trojan called vmain.class. I moved it to the chest though. I ran Ad-Aware SE, Avast! and Spybot. The only thing that came up on a scan was Avast! I'm still feeling uneasy and went to download another scanner. I heard keyloggers can hide themselve

Thanks so much for the help Dan. I just got finished installing all the programs you recommended. I'm also in the process of doing the microsoft thing. So hopefully that will get fixed soon.

Also, sorry for the late reply. I got busy with a few house related things since I'm in the slow process of moving.
