Hi, I have recently set up my system with windows XP Pro X64, upon running Xoftspy 4.13 through my system it has picked up a trojan named Backdoor.Graybird, eachtime I remove it and re-scan it comes back again, however symantec antivirus x64 is not detecting this trojan.

Does anyone know how to manually remove this trojan, I dont know where it came from as I have a wireless router with a built in firewall, I also use windows firewall, and symantec antivirus x64 client.

Are you sure it's not a false positive? Any way doing a search in google

found many links to remove it. Here's one

Hi, sorry im new to the world of trojans, what's a faulse pos......, I have just downloaded a couple of other trojan removers from a link at the bottom of this main screen and one picked it up as my doom trojan, and another picked it up as a key logger, all in explorer.exe

Thanks for the link but like I said Symantec Antiviurs is not detecting it.

Thanks for your help anyway, managed to get rid of it now, re-started in safe mode and re-ran xoftspy which detected and removed it perm. this time, restarted again into normal mode and re-ran xoftspy again just to double check and its definatly gone.

False positive is when the virus scanner is telling you, you have a problem

when you don't. The reason I gave you that link is it had instructions to

remove it manually. Also you could check an see if you had the files and

thing it mentioned on you PC.

But I'm glad you got it fixed

Beware xoftspy reports false positives as a goad to purchase.

xoftspy is crap, use HijackThis for your trojans.

If HijackThis picks stuff up after a fresh install then you must have got a warez copy of windows that somebody infected.
