Actually that's hard to state because there is no standardization in the naming convention
of infectors. Many vendors will have different names for the same infector. This is a
problem in the industry.

However, I provided you with a tool that uses broad-spectrum virus and Trojan removers and
uses scanners from 3 different vendors so what one company may miss, another may catch.

If this tool fails (or A-Squared fails) then you can find the file that MS AS flags as
having this Trojan Downloader and submit it to Virus Total for False Positive verification.

The submission will then be tested against many different AV vendor's scanners.
That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it. In addition, unless told
otherwise, Virus Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors.

If you do submit the file and when you get the report, please post back the exact results.
