Subject: Question for all


A friend of mine recently went from Windows ME to 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
