This trojan was first discovered back in 2005, so it's not a matter of MB
needing new def files. That has me wondering if this might be a flase
positive (where an AV/AM scan falsely reports something that really isn't
malware).
The trojan is known to open up semi-random sites at times. Have you found
your browser opening up any web pages for no apparent reason?
Peace,
Gman
