Had an old AVI file that has been on my system for years…Never caused any problems as far as I can tell. Always been a fairly meticilous scanner. Nothing has ever detected this trojan in this avi file.
Any ideas on the issue of an AVI file being infected with Win32:Agent-AHMG?
Had the latest AVG set to maximum scan depth.
The file is from 2007 - and it’s about 700Meg - too big for the free-bee multiscanner site.
And rather than scrapping the whole file, because I am a more or less full time Linux user, who does not have to live with the endless problems that Microsoft brings, I also have some EXCELLENT text editing programs, that I can hack into the file with and delete / cripple the trojan with.
Any ideas on WHAT to look for and HOW to find it?
How does Win32:Agent-AHMG translate into code? What do the headers look like? what is the signature of it? Etc.?
