New dangerous trojan on the loose |
wisely
|
I have use HiJackThis to scan my PC and cannot find any suspicious programs.
I suspect that Symantec may be responsible for causing the BSOD ( blue screen of death ). The BSOD have start to appear in my company after 8th Aug 2008. The BSOD also appear in Beijing Olympics http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16702 So I suspect that these incidents may be related. Those users in my company, who experiences BSOD, encountered a message from Symantec AV requesting a reboot to clean Backdoor.Trojan. After reboot, they encountered BSOD. There are too much coincidents. |

The problem may be due to a bug in Symantec Anti-virus and not due to a Trojan.
That is why clamwin cannot detect anything. Sorry for the misinformation. see links https://forums.symantec.com/syment/board/message?board.id=endpoint_protection11&message.id=15077&query.id=169884#M15077 http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?articleId=9094578&command=viewArticleBasic I have removed Symantec from my company's PC and replace with another anti-virus program. I am using clamwin portable anti-virus as a secondary defend. |
