Perhaps you ought to read Mcafee's complete description of that "trojan" http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99467 . According to that page thier scanner has flaged on travelocity as well. You may be overreacting. In fact the description goes as far as them saying the virus may not even exist. And not to make matters worse but the page you were visiting was describing the "trojan". Compare the names between the 2 pages. You scanner is flagging because the page talks about the scripting method with a code snippet that apparently matches Mcafee's signature.
