Trojan advice please   
I'm using Kaspersky AV, version 7.0.0.125, database updated every
couple of days or so. My regular rootkit scan has detected and
neutralised a Trojan, clicker.html.iFrame.ail, located in
D:\RECYCLER\S-[long string of numbers and hyphens]\Dd483.html, and
another one of the same type in the same location and with a similar
name. 

Kaspersky has neutralised them, and I can't see either using Explorer
so they're probably deleted, but is there any further action I should
take?

Download, install and run Malwarebytes Antimalware scanner.

I've downloaded that and opted to save it. It has been saved in 
'downloads' but where does this folder exist?

I don't know, it's not my computer. If its Vista, it'll be in the 
Downloads Folder under your name. If its XP and you're using Firefox, 
it'll have saved it to your desktop if you've not altered where it 
saves it.

I am using xp pro and this has not been a problem until very recently. 
When I have downloded things in the past, I have been given the option 
to name the destination folder. These days, no!

That was so obvious and simple, I don't know why I didn't think of doing 
it that way.

Thanks Trev.

Ooo-Err! Actually, although it detected some 280 files, most were very
low level stuff, and a fair number were connected with Ashampoo's
Magical Defrag programme which refused to run when quarantined, so
they were re-instated (it told me my trial period had expired). But it
did pick up Zlob and three occurrences of its fellow traveller,
SecureExpertCleaner. Why didn't Kaspersky see this, I wonder?. 
Thanks!

You're welcome. It is particularly good at finding stuff that many AV 
solutions miss.

FireFox has its own download folder Which is why you don't see the window asking where you want to save that you get with IE

That became obvious when you posted the way to the downloads. I have 
until recently used Netscape, so that explained why I couldn't find the 
downloads.
