Pesky Trojan Golid

[hobie]

I don't understand why NAV fails to deal with this sort of thing!

because it's adware and not a virus is my guess ....

have a look at this symantec link ....

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.iagold.html

note the remark on the Symantec link ....

This risk can be detected only by Symantec products that support security risks. For more information on security risks, please go here.

i.e. Norton Internet Security would have picked it up .....
