I have some backups zipped which is apparently infected with a trojan called Flashkiller.b, why I say apparently, is cause not Norton AV, McAfee, or any of those detect the virus/trojan. I use AntiVir available from www.free-av.com which detects this. I cannot delete the backups, I need to get rid of the Trojan, although it apparently only spreads on Win9x and I'm using Win2K. although it will thus not spread on my machine, I'm not sure if this thing will spread on Win9x machines I transfer data to.Any help as to disinfecting please, or is this trojan just a glitch in AntiVir as some sites on a Google search suggests? ThanxSNAG I would serously consider the possibility of a false positive here.  Does you computer still run?  Have you tried running SAV with the latest updates?  This really is not an Av group, so you would do bettert to check in with SARC [free knowledge base provided as a public service and product promotion by Symantec.] http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ Unless someone custom-designed this worm for you, it would show up sooner or later in their virus encyclopedia. This is really the wrong list for the quetion, though.  If you are tracking down information on a security threat, you should Google for security-related groups. Joseph
