Trojan found

blix9 · Jun 10, 2005, 10:44 PM

I ran virus scan a few hours ago and it detected and deleted a trojan called 'Generic BackDoor.dr'. I have McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 8.0.

Anyone know what kind of virus it is and what might have done to my system? I heard some bad things about Trojan variants so I am just curious.

It was not found on the boot drive though. No idea how long it has been there and I haven't notice any abnormality recently.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks

It could be a simple spyware dropper. If you are having trouble removing it try Spybot S&D or Ad-Aware to see if it removes it.

I never got torjan in my life

I'd used ZASS for long time

I recommed that you download the atispyware from MS one it's free

Essentially, a Trojan allows the hacker to execute/acess commads off your PC therefore it's knickname "back-door" seeing as it "allows" access to your PC. In 99% of the cases, you don't have to worry about it, especially if you have a good firewall running.
