Trojan.Agent.AD

Hi all

Spyware doctor found Trojan.Agent.AD and has quarantined it. On looking it
up on various sites it suggests that this records keystrokes and takes
screen captures and can ultimately pinch your bank/web/logons. Is this
accurate? is there anythung else I should do? is it too late? Is the
Trojan.Agent.AD the same as Agent.AD trojan?

I am using Vista and UAC is on and I have not noticed any suspicious
activity?

Thanks

Pulse

BTW, which antivirus is installed ? Just curious as to why it did not
prevent this infection.

Re: Trojan.Agent.AD

Hi MowGreen

I have psoted on the bleepingcomputer, so we'll wait and see. At the time I
had freeAVG7.5 and Spywaredoctor running as well as Windows Defender! It
might be a false positive?

I have reinstalled my Norton Online security free with my ISP, as it has
never happened before.

i think the fact that insearching the forums out there that no-one seems to
have reported this one, makes me think it is less to worry about that I
initially thought

Thanks for the direction
