119195 2003-02-08 18:16:00 Hey thanks for help Gordon and Merlin, I looked up that google one, Gordon and went to the Symantec site - apparently it is a associated with W32/Trinoo trojan -some kind of hackers tool. I had already deleted it from the windows files and just have to delete the registry entry now. It is my neighbours machine which she asked me to have a look at because it wasn't running properly. So that makes it two trojans and a virus found on it. I don't think the her virus definitions had ever been updated by the look of it.
Cheers :-)
