No its not a nix trojan, its for windows. The trojan is called optix and I dont know who made it. I know about the cleaner etc. but apparently if it is running it terminates the majority of the scanners out there including "Housecall" and The cleaner by moosoft. Im just wondering if there is a way to stop it from loading at all, or once you DO have it, how do you get rid of it. From what I read, the newest version will terminate the virus scanners BEFORE it (the scanner) can even pick it up/detect it.

For those who dont know what I am talking about or for a list of what processes/programs it terminates (and to save copying a page)...the link is

From what I have read in another "security post", if you edit out the winstart.bat file, you can prevent it from loading on bootup.
