Thanks, Jennifer. So, because I can't see that dialogue and click on something quickly, now I've got to incapacitate my computer for forty minutes to run a scan when I didn't mean to. Just grousing.

I just ran a thorough scan again and it got rid of it. The threat was an obfustat.zxs or something...don't have a clue what it might be. I'm sorry I don't have a solution...just thought I'd let you know that you're not alone.
