    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)
