    Question Trojan Virus

    Following my update to Windows SP2, I did a scan for virus's, and Norton said I was clean! I then did a scan with Trend Micro/PCcillin? and up came two problems! I had HTML ZEROLIN.B and so had to do a delete of them as they could not be repaired....

    How come Trend Micro finds such things and Norton doesn't? Any ideas folks?
    Especially symantec!

    i reply cause i,ve had a similar situation. i posted this ? in another forum long ago:

    I've run Norton's for nearly 2 years & never had a virus according to them. I do a full scan every week. Today, just out of curiosity i ran both the Bit Scan program & also Trend Micro & they both found the same thing:

    C:\WINNT\system32\MDM.EXE=>(Upx) infected: Trojan.HideWindows.A
    C:\WINNT\system32\MDM.EXE=>(Upx) unable to disinfect
    C:\WINNT\system32\ocxdll.exe=>(ZIP Sfx o)=>mdm.exe=>(Upx) infected: Trojan.HideWindows.A
    C:\WINNT\system32\ocxdll.exe=>(ZIP Sfx o)=>taskmngr.exe infected: Backdoor.IRC.Mard.A

    They say they cant be 'cleaned'. Can they be deleted? Is it important? Why doesnt Norton find this?

    i know this is a different trojan but this stands out re: Norton:

    "This Trojan consists of the following programs, all of which are detected as Trojan.IrcBounce by Symantec antivirus products:

    Dll32.hlp
    Dll32nt.hlp
    Xvpll.hlp
    Httpsearch.ini
    Nt32.ini
    Gg.bat
    Seced.bat
    Tftp8675
    V.exe
    Mt.exe

    This Trojan also uses the following clean programs, which are not detected by Symantec antivirus products:
    Kill.exe
    Mdm.exe
    Mdm.scr
    Ncp.exe
    Psexec.exe
    Taskmngr.exe"

    Yet Trend Micro DID find them.
