    I just ran an in depth analysis (an option I hadn't noticed before...) and found a trojan (phishing.gen trojan). Isn't it strange that it manage to get past NOD32 in the first place. Why wasn't it detected by my scheduled weekly scan (NOD32 - scanning)? I'm using NOD32 2.12.3.

    It was probably in the temp internet files from some time ago & NOD has only just added detection for that version of it

    1) Open Control Panel
    2) Click on Internet Options
    3) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
    4) You may also want to check the box "Delete all offline content"
    5) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the temporary internet files

    HTML Phising trojans merely contain pure text. They are actually deceiving emails which pretend to be sent from a bank authority in order to get details about the recipient's account details etc.

    Perhaps, but in any case, I'm sure it wouldn't have been a perfectly legitimate movie :)
