It was called Backdoor.optix.BI or optix.pro.


It goes out and kills certain processes then alerts the hacker that your
system has been compromised. It's damage depends on what the hacker
does, which luckily for me wasn't much.


I was dismayed that a program was able to defeat NAV's protection so
easily though. It just shut it down and prevented it from ever
running/installing again. Same with McAffee. It even blocked the web
based McAfee virusscan.


I downloaded AVG and I managed to isolate the fileserver and delete it.
It was masquerading as msieexec16.exe . Got rid of that then went online
to find what the trojan does and how it works and cleared out the
relevant Registry keys.

sobig.e??? I got this and didn't realize it until I realized anti-virus
scan never finished. If you can get the name of it, there are tools out
there for it.
