finding a trojan

[Mr. Peabody]

my brother downloaded a program the other day that contained the trojan dopper.swicer, i have managed to get rid of it but i was wondering is there a site where i can read up about it to find out what that particular trojan does? i tried symantec but i couldnt find it on that site. any help would be appreciated thank you.

I've got an entire folder of bookmarks on this topic. Try these sites:

AVP
F-Secure
Virus.Information.Laboratory
Stiller.Research
Symantec
Amiga.Virus.Encyclopedia

Last one just incase your an amiga fan like me :)

Unfortunately that filename you've given appears grossly incorrect.

This particular one I believe is one of the Standard viewer's. I have heard that through my source that theese take a thumbnail of your desktop on command through another computer, That's about all it can do. It is normally used to capture personal Info like acc. #'s and Credit Cards......

Actually, for once Google isnt the answer to all questions. I searched and found nothing.

Ditto, but I suspect there may have been a misspelling involved given the number of unrelated near-match results.

I use www.sophos.com for virus info.

When in doubt try www.google.com, apparently the best kept search secret.
