Haven't heard of it specifically by that name - you might check
http://www.diamondcs.com.au (TDS-3 anti-trojan scanner) or
http://www.nsclean.com (BOClean anti-trojan).  Have you done a scan for
alternate date streams?  Could be hidden that way.

Obviously, if you can identify the trojan or its code (Hackman is always
useful for stuff like that), you may be able to just use the local loop
(127.0.0.1) to send its "kill" command.

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
