One way to clean the trojan horse off of the system is to get a more powerful AV program. Sure, Norton is a powerful enough AV product, but by no means the most powerful. The AV which has been proven to be the most powerful and has the biggest database of known viruses and trojans is TheCleaner. This software product can clean trojans and viruses that are known to very few people: www.moosoft.com I guarantee TheCleaner will sort the problem :-) Thank you for your time.

Win2K, but now he has a trojan on his computer. He is running Norton Anti-virus, and it will not clean it off, it will only quarentine it. The affliction is: Backdoor.Trojan, and it has placed a hidden folder on his hard drive called: Payload.Dat. He cannot get ride of it. We have tried doing a search on the internet for some kind of information pertaining to this, but we had no luck. We also tried all the antiviral websites but they do not have a tool for this. My question is: Has anyone ever heard of this, and if so, how do you clean it off. Thanks in advance for any assistance, anyone can provide. Jeff
