What is THREAT "OSX/CLICKAGENT.FLA" found in "opr0ETEF.tmp" file ?

Notice the file name is using a ZERO after the "opr" .
It was found just now with a firewall activity alert.
Here's what the general information on the file says:
Kind: Unix Executable File

Size: 66KB on disk (61,836 bytes)

Where: /Volumes/Untitled/Documents and Settings/(User Name)/Local Settings/Application Data/Opera/My Opera Web Browser/cache/g_0018

Created: Thursday, August 9, 2012 7:36 AM

Modified: Thursday, August 9, 2012 7:36 AM

It's under QUARANTINE now, and I'm looking to destroy it by "shreading" or "wiping" ?

Any suggestions?

[Yosemitest]

Thank you for any help you might offer.

I think it means you have not donated enough $$ to Free Republic...but thats just a guess ;-)

Don’t worry about it, it can’t be removed. It’s the file the NSA installed on your computer so it can access your system at any time.

If you’re not a criminal you have nothing to hide, right?

[TomGuy]

It does not show up in Google.

But, I would not try to run that tmp file.

If your virus program found it, quarantine it and let the antivirus program remove it.

Wipe... then wash yer hands..

Google has already indexed this post. Amazing!

[UCANSEE2]

Cut and paste this into Google.

I'm guessing a lot of other people are doing the same thing I'm doing.
I'm finishing up a full scan now.

R U running a mac?

[Yosemitest]

Scan finished, and it says it is a "Trojan horse" file.
All it offers is to Quarantine it, which I did.

Can you recall anything you downloaded the morning of the 9th? An .exe file is a program that runs something so it should be treated cautiously. If Google has no answer for it, try some of the anti-virus sites in their chats and knowledge bases. It’s unlikely you’re the first person to get this.

If you have been running fine for the past 10 days, it is probably harmless but then last night was a full moon.

If you’re running Safari then check this out:

Malwarebytes flags it as Trojan.ClickAgent.FLA.

[Las Vegas Ron]

LOL
!

[this_ol_patriot]

It’s actually hitting all browsers so maybe that’s it.

[Yosemitest]

No downloads today.
I was mostly commenting on FR, and listening to iHeart Radio.
It wants to freeze up a lot, but I'm confident that VirusBarrier X6 has it guarded and locked down.

[Yosemitest]

I think that's it, and I think it says I'm protected,
and that fake Flash Update is probably where it come from.
