Yesterday I downloaded Sun poker and after one day I am up $176. However my virus protection told me last night that I have a virus. All the infected files have the word "Sun" in them. Here is an example.
C:WINDOWSApplication DataSunJavaDeployment
Then it says Trojan horse Generic WKN infected, Embedded object
Now I am 21% done the $100 bonus and would like to finish it however I would like to get rid of this virus. Any advice will be appreciated.
I have played on many sites and this is the first time this has occured. My virus protection is AVG.

Without even looking into it....
'Sun' in that string refers to sun microsystems, not sun poker. Sun is java here.
A WKN file is a 'Lotus 123 version n spreadsheet' file.
That's just at a glance. I don't know what all you have installed or done on your computer. If you're concerned it may be related to the software, then unistall the sun poker, run your anti, make sure you're clean, then reinstall sun poker.
I fyou want to post or pm the list of files reported infected, I'll dig into what they are, and where they may have come from for you.

I also run AVG and have not had any reports against sunpoker or since installing it.

yeah AVG is good and has come up with nothing on any of the poker sotwares I have installed.
Be careful though with Java components. A few antivirus tools have been known to mark them as a trojan or viri and after they are deleted your java applications will not even think of running on your pc.
