Backdoor.Trojan is a generec term used by norton to identify any trojan or suspected trojan that does not have specific information on their dat database, but contains trojan-like signatures.
Have you tried booting into safe mode and removing the trojan? Also, try clicking your start button, then run and type msconfig. Take the trojan out of the "bootup/Startup (one of the two)" tab.
The reason you delete it in safemode is because windows only starts essential services while in safe mode - it will not start your trojan horse unless it is REALLY smart, which im sure it isn't...
Give that a go, and good luck,

A friend of mine recently went from Windows ME to Win2K, but now he has a
trojan on his computer. He is running Norton Anti-virus, and it will not
clean it off, it will only quarentine it. The affliction is:
Backdoor.Trojan, and it has placed a hidden folder on his hard drive called:
Payload.Dat. He cannot get ride of it. We have tried doing a search on the
internet for some kind of information pertaining to this, but we had no
luck. We also tried all the antiviral websites but they do not have a tool
for this.
My question is: Has anyone ever heard of this, and if so, how do you clean it off.
Thanks in advance for any assistance, anyone can provide.
Jeff
