[dba-Tech] Anyone heard of this virus or trojan??

Thanks to everyone for replying to this thread -- thanks for the quick
response and assistance. 

I have forwarded the responses to the guy with the infection and he will
hopefully get it cleaned up.

Anti Virus firms use multiple alias names and variants for viruses until 
they are officially named by CARO Computer Antivirus Research 
Organization. Mcafee may use one name. TrendMicro another. But it is 
probably some variant of a Dropper Virus.

Check your AV website for aliases.
