Interesting thing happened to me today with my Norton. I started my computer and got a virus warning. It was some file named "sus.exe"... described as a Download Trojan. Now if that doesn't scare the snot out of you first thing in the morning before the first cup of coffee, I don't know what does!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
Norton then told me that it couldn't be repaired. So I put the coffee on and started a full system scan. It found the file twice on my machine. I quarantined it and then moved to the net to find out what exactly this thing was and what damage it had done. I was
VERY pissed when I found out what it was...

It's enough to make anyone nervous.... Suddenly your system begins running noticeably
slower. Or maybe you've seen some internet traffic you can't explain. Or there
are a few mysterious new icons in your system tray. What happened? Is it a virus?
A Trojan Horse of some kind? Or maybe that new piece of shareware you or someone
in your family just looked at installed a 'few extras' that weren't advertised.Startup
Sentry to the rescue! Startup Sentry is an extremely powerful yet easy to use
management tool designed to track and report on every application, service and
driver that loads automatically when Windows starts and alerts you when new
ones appear. With Startup Sentry you'll always know when something new or unexpected
is being launched 'under the radar'. You'll be alerted to any spyware, adware
or Trojan Horse applications that install themselves in your system's registry.
You'll learn about drivers that are still being loaded for hardware that you
might have removed long ago. You'll see any application 'extras' that load at
startup which you might not use, but are consuming precious resources.Most systems
load dozens, even hundreds of applications and drivers at startup. Startup Sentry
goes well beyond simply keeping tabs of the startup folder. It monitors multiple
areas of your system where startup items lurk. Whether you're arming yourself
against spyware, adware, Trojans and rogue applications, or you want to optimize
your system's startup routine, Startup Sentry can help.
