i was not aware of the distinction between a virus and a trojan.

so is it correct then that if i run a virus scan using norton antivirus 5.0, that it won't detect a trojan?

thanks,

mark

tom,

fyi, this from the symantec website...

"There is another existing tool called NetBus which has
capabilities similar to Back Orifice. The currently available definitions of
Norton AntiVirus detect both Back Orifice and NetBus."
