Mike,
As far as AVG goes, let's just say I worked for a gov't dept ...
The only ones to come through with a clean bill
of health (i.e. for the large majority of the tests they had a 100%

Hello Maurice,
This is maybe a bit offtopic but AVG's problem is
it doesn't find Trojan Horses. I have been
infected by the backdoor.sdbot.gen.
Probably a hacker gained access to my webhost
account because of this. If you have

Oliver,
This failure to detect the trojan horse should be reported to Grisoft.
I am cc'ing them this message. You should probably file a tech

You should be pretty safe simply deleting it or better yet
