Trojan.Maljava!gen1

A friend who used the Norton online virus scan found a Trojan.Maljava!gen1 hit.
I can’t find a reference to this or a variation re: avast.
A concern?

Take a look:

Even tho Norton says (via the link - which i had already seen) its a low level trojan, the question is the trojan in the avast list of signatures to flag and remove? In other words, since I don’t have Norton, will avast identify this signature, if present, and handle it accordingly. Thanx.

impossible to say 100% unless you upload the sample to www.virustotal.com and test

but i am 99% sure that avast does…since this seems to be an old bug. if you check the Norton info you will see that System Affected is Windows Vista or older

here are some
