    The Zcodec trojan story by the Inquirer

    http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34156

    I downloaded the code/trojan out of curiosity to see what AV programs detect it. Kasperksy, which is supposed to one of the best scanning engines didn't detect anything, nor did the Panda online scan is which is odd, because Panda are supposed to have discovered it in the first place.

    Anyone else detect anything with their AV software?

    Have you actually installed it yet? I don't think scanning engines can scan installer packages where the install files are encrypted inside.

    Ah, okay. I've only scanned the .exe

    I think I'll pass on installing it though! Thanks anyway.
