Dear Iskandar,
One way to check is to determine the size of the original file to see if
there has been any change.
My understanding is that Trojan's can piggyback upon the original PPS file.
In some instances the Trojans can already exist on the victim's computer and
when a PPS file is activated, the worm or Trojan is then executed. That is
the nature of the word Trojan. It means that the victim allowed the "Trojan"
into his or her own computer.
There is currently a security problem with Adobe Acrobat. There is a
vulnerability that allows hackers to again mess with your computer. So I
suggest updating your Acrobat Reader. Once upon a time a PDF file meant
something secure. Unfortunately this is no longer accurate.
Again I underline, find me any anti-virus program that can identify this
type of Malware and I will be recommending it at every opportunity.
A few programs advertise that they do. Usually they can only find and cure a
handful and there are many hundreds of variants of this stuff out there.
In other words, these software companies are essentially taking advantage of
their client's ignorance of the real issues.
