I'm wanting to know if this is a worm or any type of virus or not I know Norton don't list it?

if its not found in the above two scans its most likely safe. unless its extreamly new rescan in a few days so there will be newer definitions out.

thank you! I just did a virus scan last night and it didn't find anything and Norton didn't list it in the defenitions so I wasn't sure.

If you read again response n°3, you should understand it is a Trojan Horse. I am still in the process of getting my network clear for about three weeks now.

My uncle called me up to help him out with this one. Unfortunately im 3 states away and troubleshooting over the phone is hardly ideal.

Can anyone help me ID the actual proccess name? No wininitd or any variations thereof under proccesses or registry tho not having access to the system I cant check the other entries for validity.

He's in safemode right now running a full scan. Also the PCPitstop.com (Panda) didn't even detect it.

If I could just ID the actual proccess the rest would be cake

The original virus is backdoor.winet It is a Trojan Horse. You can look it up at

This seemed to work for me so far.

Good Luck

Big problem. I have Norton Corporate Version that auto updates every day. Got this Trojan horse anyway. You have to open the registry (run - regedit) and delete the values from the registry. Unfortunately, the damm file stays in windows/system and you can't delete it! Unless somebody out there knows something I don't. H E L P !

Got it! Advice from www on another trojan horse problem, and it works! Download the Trojan Remover from www.simplysup.com. It's free for 30 days and will wipe out any of those nastys that have been driving us nuts. The program actually renames the offending file so you can delete it. Just follow the simple step by stem instructions. I'm buying it!

I tried Trojan Remover and it found the file and told me that it had Topdialer inside it. When Trojan remover scanned my machine it locked up and went to blue screen (windows XP) I have never seen this before in XP. When I restarted it Trojan Remover continued to scan rest of machine and said to run the program again to remove trojan. I tried this but the result was the same system lockup.

Does anyone know where I can
download the Trojan Horse
"backdoor.winet"? I have a MAC OS X and
i can use the trojan to make protecton
software..
