Anyone else had this problem?

When I run CWS it tells me that the file CWS.Jksearch has been removed from my system. I exit out of CWS and run it immediatley again, and it tells me the same thing. I have CWS set to send the file to the recycle bin, but no file is transfered there.

Is this a false positive? Trend Micro can't find anything and McAfee Virus Scan 7.1 can't either. I have experienced NO slowdown, page hijack, or addition to favorites. There are no funny connections when I run a netstat -a.

Am I infected?
