Hi guys.
I included this question in another post, regarding a wider problem, but I figured I may be better off posting in Other Software.
My question is, could a security scan erroneously show a file to be contaminated with a trojan?
I had some trojan problems that was ultimately resolved by wiping the C drive. Since then I have installed AVG, Tauscan, Zone Alarm and Norton System Works 2002 and used have also ran a virus check at HouseCall. None of these programs threw up any viruses or other nasties. All of these protection programs have the most recent updates.
However, then I visited the Norton site and did a security check, and the only thing wrong with my system was that it found a trojan resident in a dodgy game exe (now deleted).
Could the Norton site be wrong? Or could it have found something all those programs missed?
Thanks,
Gram
