Everytime i visit my one friends myspace page my McAfee Anti-Virus tells me i just got JS/Spacestalk trojan. However, even though McAfee finds this virus it cant remove quarantine or delete it? Does anyone know what needs to be done to get rid of this trojan!?
Try with a online scanner like
http://www.bitdefender.com/ or

Answer seems to have worked for the person posting. You might want to contact Myspace or your friend to alert them that either he or someone else has hacked the code to put the bug there.
Your friends myspace is either hacked or some sort of spam user, there is no problem that you can fix with your friends myspace, you should alert her to the problem, now as for the trojan, it most likely is hiding somewhere in your computer that Mcafee can’t find it in but dedected it. Try running a full scan on your computer, if that doesn’t work try looking for it yourself or seek addtional help.
There are several Trojan Horses running around these days which hide themselves from anti-virus using Rootkit technologies. You must reveal and remove the rootkit to keep the Trojan from reappearing. Try using AVG free Anti-Rootkit (from grisoft.com) and follow up with Super Anti-Spyware, which is particularly good at removing these types of threats. McAfee is nice, but it is weak on this point.
Your friend must have a tracker on her profile. It’s actually not a virus. McAfee VirusScan will flag the first script as malware and identify it as JS/SpaceTalk Trojan. Both the QuickTime movie file, titled tys4.mov, and the second script are downloaded from a server at profileawareness.com. That’s also the site that collects the user data. I dont know how to fix it though. Whoever is the creator of the tracker at profileawareness.com needs to find a solution to it.
