reggie -

If you know you've got it, then you AV worked - at least part way. (Unless you have some other reason to think you need to worry.)

If your AV tagged a file as containing a nasty of some kind, it should have offered to repair, quarantine or delete it. If it's been shut off by letting the AV do whichever it recommends, then you shouldn't have a lot to worry about, although there may - sometimes - be some "clean up" to do.

I haven't seen this particular name, but if it's a variant of the Trojan Downloader it's probably pretty similar to the other one. If you're about to go check again, you can probably find anything I would. Be aware that many of the known malfile stuff goes by multiple names, and different AV groups refer to them differently. Yours may be just an "alias" for one better known by another name. If you don't get anything with the "full name" try fragments - i.e. just "Downloader" and or "Keenval." If you know the "name" of the file in which it was detected, or the layout (subject line, from, to, etc.) of an email in which it might have arrived, you might try searching fragments from them too. The shorter the "name" you put in, the more "hits" you're likely to get - but also the more "near misses."
