VCDQuality serving HTTP exploit trojan

My IE is patched anyway...but my virus scanner caught it twice so far today, both times right when I clicked on a VCDQ page. Once loading the main page, once posting a response in the forum. VCDQ was the only page I had up both times. It was found in TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\4LQ3SP6F\HP2[1].HTM.

HTML.MHTMLRedir.exploit trojan

HTML.MHTMLRedir.exploit is a generic detection of web pages or e-mail messages which attempt to exploit the "MHTML URL Processing" vulnerability in Internet Explorer. For more information specific to this vulnerability, please visit our Vulnerability Information Center.

This does not necessarily mean that a virus has been found. It merely means that HTML code was found which attempts to activate additional executable code without the user's express permission. This exploit can be used in a malicious web page or inside e-mail messages to execute code of the attacker's choice on the user's machine. Users of Internet Explorer and applications such as Outlook or Outlook Express that employs Internet Explorer to render HTML content are vulnerable to this exploit.
