Me thinks i have been discussing something completely unrelated to your initial question.

So on that note,i shall retire for the evening,satisfied that i was way off.......

The beastie in question turned up all on his lonsome from a bad environment.

The nearest thing i have to a Download manager is an uninstalled version of leechget. no real player or such beasties, in this partition.

This is another new clean ghost impression.

Downloader.Trojan is a program that downloads another malicious program from a remote Internet site and executes it on the local system.

various worms and backdoor Trojans use Downloader.Trojan to spread themselves over the Internet. Thus, Downloader.Trojan accesses and downloads from various sites.

Yup, and Yup,

Avg identified it as downloader hence my stupid questions, not "thinking" that there are proper downloaders/d-load managers. Thats an interesting article all the same.

That spy option is being used by some agencies you do not talk about, all-though they have a techkier version it will work on basically the same principle.

Tried real player years ago not nice. aol, netscape, real player ect, all ugly problem makers. IMO.Dont want anything to do with any of them.
