    First a thank you to anyone who can offer guidance with respect to the following:

    I downloaded and installed NOD32 and am on the trial period now. It immediately detected a Win32/TrojanDownloader.Rameh.C trojan. The action it took was to terminate the connection though shortly after it scanned and said it was in an archive.

    At that time I was running TDS-3 for Anti-T protection.

    My question then is:

    It terminated the connection and subsequent scans have not turned up traces anywhere, nor have multiple searches with TDS 3 - yet is the trojan gone or what? I realize it is a trojan but as NOD32 caught it I thought it wise to post it in this forum.

    My Hijackthis log shows nothing out of wack - how do I remove this or is it gone already?

    Thank you for sitting through my post which is bound to be baffling.

    Warm Regards to each of you!

    IMON blocks it before it can infect your system. You didn't find it cause it never got there!

    If the trojan was terminated, it's not on your hard drive.
    It should show up in the virus log as an entry that was terminated.

    The one point that Jado54 may be missing here is that IMON is the internet monitor. It intercepted and terminated the download, so it never actually got all the way onto your computer. It never had a chance to run and infect your computer, so there would be no traces to clean up. :)

    That's the beauty of IMON...the connection is terminated, and the data is never written to disk, so there is nothing to clean.

    Edit: We were posting at about the same time Notok.

    Should the IMON alert window keep reapperaing, I suggest you send a log from Hijackthis (e.g. http:\\eset.zftp.com/hijackthis.exe) to support@nod32.com for analysis.

    Thanks to each of you. NOD32 did its job and now I think I will purchase it.

    Cheers!
