Hi!

Just downloaded the latest dat (253) and after running it discovered the following:-

Virus
Trojan horse BackDoor.Fraggle

is found in file

D:\Oxford Dictionary10th Ed\Uninstal.exe


Is it possible that the uninstal.exe file in my Concise Oxford Dictionary 10th Ed be a trojan?


Thanks

How long has it been on your computer? :D

I would not call my trojan Uninstall but something that lured people into running it. My guess is f/p.

Regards,

Pieter

Hi Pieter_Arntz!

Concise Oxford Dictionary software has been on my system for sometime now and NAV2003 Pro & the anti-virus in Ontrack's Fix-It doesn't detect it.

You're right to say that this is a F/P :D

Thanks

You could submit it to the KAV scan: http://antivirus.mafia.ru/ to get a fourth opinion, but I guess it's wiser to inform AVG.

Regards,

Pieter
