I found this on my system during a full system scan. *Did a google search and found info on a nasty little trojan called backdoor.wincrash, but didn't see anything about destruct.wincrash. *Any info would be appreciated.

It is very likely the same. The string before the period in the name is classificatory (if that is a word) and may vary depending whose list you are looking at. You probably already have the link but in case it comes in handy...

Hi Soul_Flame,

A simple trojan - the link provided is a good one :)
You might also notice (Flipscreen util) in the detection, or a second detection with this file. This is not dangerous, but was an included part of the trojan, it simply flips the users screen upside down. This has become a common feature of the major trojans, Wincrash was an early trojan and one of the first to have this function (albeit in a separate 4k exe)
